35937 2002-02-16 22:10:00 Yesterday I installed Windows XP. Power management settings remain as they were with 98SE, turning things off after 30 minutes inactivity. Now however, the computer is going into a state where I can wake it only by rebooting. The only obvious symptom is that the green power indicator light is flashing away until I reboot, when it becomes steady as normal. Also I now notice that the @ key and the ' key have become transposed. What gives?
Cheers

The keyboard problem is easy to fix, it's the language. Go to control panel, settings, keyboard. Click the language tab and make it a US English keyboard.
