Strange fault

Post by UBT - Rick Horn »

I have been having many problems with my rig, and have recently had to install a new hard drive.
It works OK, but when I use the keyboard,

if type @ it comes up as "
and if I type " it comes up as @ No other keys seem to be affected.
I guess I can live with it, but does anyone know has gone wrong?

Rick.

Looks like you've inadvertently set your 'keyboard' to US settings instead of UK.

In the Control Panel check the settings in the Regional and Language Options. On the 'Languages' tab you can alter the keyboard layout by pressing the 'details button'.
