If I hit the ampersand key I get ¬ If I hit the double quot key I get @ How could this happen???????? At least the alphabet keys are all OK. Jack. |

| 172838 | 2003-09-03 21:29:00 | It's not the keyboard's fault. It's Win XP's fault. | JJJJJ (528) | ||
| 172839 | 2003-09-03 21:44:00 | Have a look under Keyboards in Control Panel and check the settings. You might need to reload your drivers. | Murray P (44) | ||
| 172840 | 2003-09-03 22:13:00 | You have Windows set up incorrectly. You are set up for an English keyboard and not a US one. Change all settings under control panel - regional and language. Make sure its English (New Zealand) and that under the "Languages" tab, that you have the keyboard set to US. This is assuming XP |

| 172842 | 2003-09-03 22:26:00 | Thanks godfather.Spot on. I changed to English to change the order the date is shown. Didn't realise the Poms had a different keyboard. I have now changed to NZ which gives me what I want. Thanks again, Jack |
