188402 2003-11-01 07:58:00 Yes you can change it.

How depends on the version of your Operating System, and if its Windows or Mac.

There is no NZ keyboard format usually, just US and UK (European) base formats.
You probably need US as you suggest.

Give us a clue as to what OS and ver?

188404 2003-11-01 08:07:00 Goto:

Start - Control Panel - Regional and Language - Language - Text Services and Input Languages - Details

Set the Default input language to English (New Zealand) - US

Set the installed Services to English (New Zealand) and the Keyboard to US

Simple and intuitive isn't it - not!

188405 2003-11-01 08:41:00 godfather I have done what you said but still not right the main problem is shift @ gives me " and the opposite key gives me correct so for @ I shift "it must be the key board layout as the keys are different on my home PC.

188406 2003-11-01 08:48:00 Hi John,

Does you laptop have a Function [Fn] button that may have locked on, or a numberlock function? Sometimes on laptops certain keys have 3 different settings...

Also, does the manufacturer's website have keyboard drivers?
