144612 2003-05-15 22:14:00 When using my office prog or a search engine on a new Toshiba laptop I have for work the speechmarks don't appear untill you press the spacebar. Life like this is liveable but having them appear when I press the button is something I've gotten used to. If anyone could help it'd be much appreciated.....thanks...

144613 2003-05-15 23:13:00 This is probably because of your Regional and Language settings believe it or not.

From the start menu, go to Control Panel. Click on the option for Language settings (might be called 'Date, Time, Language, and Regional settings').

Click on 'Regional and Language settings'.

In the new window that pops up, click on the 'Languages' tab at the top, and click on the 'Details' button.

In the new window, scroll down the list until you see 'Keyboard', and a country name underneath that heading. If that country isn't US, then you'll have to change it.

To change it, click the Add button, click (in the new window) the box next to 'Keyboard layout/IME', and from the scroll list under that (not from the top scrolldown list - that's for Input language, which should be set to English - New Zealand), select 'US' and click OK.

Now you should be back at the previous window, and should now have two options under 'Keyboard'. Click on the one that's NOT 'US' and click on remove. Now 'US' should be highlighted as default.

Click OK to close all the windows you have open, and it might ask you to restart (I'm not sure). Now your keyboard should work correctly.
