simonty Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 The muddled up keyboard issue is due to it being set to U.S English. It needs changing to U.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Yes, go to Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options Check all the settings are set to English(United Kingdom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Sounds like you are maybe living in Scotland and are using an English keyboard. My father in law had the same problem and he's only just over the border. Incidentally he's not too bright either. Oh I'm gonna regret this Sorry OTH - it's revenge for years of abuse by a nasty Scottish woman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
