Please someone should help me out with what possibly could be the cause and the possible exact solution to my acer 5535 series which has this fault; some keys on the keyboard are not functional when you tap them (this a recent development). Firstly, it started with the ''Delete key'' a long while now but i ignored it and alternatively used the second ''Delete key'' at the numeric key section of the keyboard. But today, now i found out that the ''Down Arrow key'', the ''Enter key'', the ''Backspace key'' are no more functional when tapped and who knows how many more keys have been affected so far. Please someone with full knowledge of its solution or who has had previous experience over this should help me out so i know how to go about this issue 'cos its so annoying and disgusting thanks!

Goodday tech gurus, please i need your help. I downloaded a game Zombie Shooter 2 394mb from topgames.com and installing it. When i click to play it, i get this message (the program can't start because d3dx9_27.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this problem).I have unistall and reinstalled it but its the same. What does that code mean? and do i need to download any software to play large size games? i downloaded other games like Alien Shooker, star racing and super bike from the same site and it plays without any problem, although the size is less than 50mb each. I installed bittorrent on my system but don't know how to work run it. Thanks for the anticipated assistance.

That is because you dont have DirectX installed on your computer. Download it here

But if you have it installed already then specify, you will only need to download the dll patch and you will be good

I dont think that has anything to do with the modem....looks like you only have good GLO signal in your area

Socratez20: i cant hear sounds when playing movies or music on my hp 620 pls whats the problem could it be the speaker?

Thank you for getting intouch with us. firstly, is this win xp, vista or win 7.

Check to make usure the speaker has not been placed on mute or low level
when was the last time it works ? okay, look at the far right where usually
there is a speaker, is there any red x that read no audio output installed?
Click start and look for a run or type in the start menu box run and a box
should come up. please type dxdiag and press enter naviagete to sound
and should have option to test if not does it state no problem found

Please answer this questions and we know what to do if no joy. my colleague
will take it to check device manager for conflicts /driver installation

Is this win vista or win 7 ?

if win vista or win 7

restart and keep pressing f8
select safe mode, if it boot to safe mode let
us know one of my colleague will run you
through a system restore to turn the clock back to
when it last works. if safe doesn't work you have to
boot to repair your computer automatically using the same
f8 and go for automatically repair if thats what you've alreday tried
select system restore when you get to the menu where you have command prompt

Replace the keyboard with a new one or best bet. Take it to an engineer, the flex might need cutting out and sharpening.

Not something you can do at home.

What isp do you use?

And how do you connect to the internet? Through a modem, public wifi or what?

It is the isps server that handles DNS....So maybe you contact your provider.

Also i got this link for you...You might want to follow it up since you are pretty good with cmd commands.

e-enable the firewall
connect to the router/modem per usual
get a command prompt (start->run->cmd) and enter
ipconfig /all >myTCP.txt
now copy the entire contents of myTCP.txt and
a) paste into your follow-up

Click here
From there we can move to something....

Givrn onegig's advice please consider the followings


By Default in most computers DNS server addresses are obtained automatically. You need to change it and use open dns. Its recommended to use Google DNS. i.e 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 . Or you can find the best dns servers for your computer.

One you change the dns server addresses,restart your computer. Clear cookies, Cache , Browsing History from your browser settings. Try to disable add-ons and see if its works. If you still get a problem try to use in private browsing.

If all the above steps fail, go to Google Chrome settings, Click on show advanced settings and under privacy you would find “Use a web service to help resolve navigation errors” just remove the tick from the check box next to it and restart chrome.
