1197714 2011-04-27 10:43:00 Hi,

I have a Compaq Presario C700 Notebook PC and run Windows Vista Home Premium, but for a while now I've had a strange keyboard. Basically a few of the letters are mixed up, for example to type [@] I have to type in ["] and i can't even find backslash as whenever i hit that key it comes up with [#]...anyone got any ideas on how to fix?

Thx

1197715 2011-04-27 10:50:00 Thats sometimes caused by the regional / and language settings.

Go into the Control Panel, Locate the Region / Language settings , keyboard - whats it set to ?
