reptileqc Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Same problem weird keyboard problem Ok here is the deal. I have windows 7 OS i downloaded Oracle Virtualbox to run a virtual machine with the OS of linux. It worked fine the one time i downloaded it from the IE after i logged off the system and the next day i tried to log back on to the virtual machine and it authenication failure i notice that the keyboard is typing numbers only no letters and my password is all letters. I have uninstalled VB I have checked settings. I have scanned for viruses. I have updated the bios. can anyone help with this situation? :confused: As weird as it seems, I have the same exact problem. I haven't been using Virtualbox for a short while and today it's impossible to login to my Windows XP guest since the password will not work. When trying to type in the username box, everything I type is converted to a number. I can type A it will display 1, press A again and now I get the number 2. Then any letter or number will bring me 3... and so on. I'm guessing this could be a problem with a Windows update or something? I can't seem to see what else could be affected. I had the problem on version 3.2.8 of Virtualbox but i'm still having the same problem after updating to 3.2.10 a few minutes ago. Here are my computers specs in case we find something in common : Windows 7 x64 Home Premium (Host) Windows XP SP3 (Guest) Lenovo G560 Intel i7 Processor 4Gb RAM PS: I just tried with another guest on the same machine (Linux Mint Debian) and I get the same problem Edited October 27, 2010 by reptileqc Quote

I found the problem is not on windows 7 neither virtualbox, this is in LENOVO. I did the following and it worked!... "if you have lenova g550 laptop and it types numbers in sequence from 1234567890123etc not letters. then do this, (by unchecking via Control Panel/System and Security/Administrative Tools/System Configuration Startup tab). When I unchecked the following (and rebooted), the problem went away: Startup Item: GID Desktop Application Manufacturer: StrikeForce Technologies Inc. Command:C:\Program Files\SFT\GuardedID\gidd.exe /s" it was taken from here: Link removed Cheers!! Edited November 16, 2010 by PseFrank Quote
