729250 2008-12-15 05:42:00 Tonight's problem is with my keyboard on my desktop (doing this on the lappy - couldn't do it otherwise). When I press f, I get u, when I press g I get i. And so on.....

I've been fiddling in Regional & Language Options (probably with no good effect!). :help:

729253 2008-12-15 06:07:00 Have you tried to uninstall the keyboard, reboot and then let Windows re-detect the keyboard? Jen (38)
729254 2008-12-15 06:21:00 How do you do that? Sorry about the ignorance...:( R.M. (561)

Unplug keyboard

Restart, plug in keyboard

729257 2008-12-15 06:49:00 All fixed now - I went back to Language settings and deleted all the US options, leaving only the UK options, and then rebooted. :)

Thanks for your helpful suggestions - I can always rely on this forum to get me out of my pickles! :clap

729258 2008-12-15 07:04:00 Just when you posted-I discovered that you had changed your keyboard layout to Dvorak, which is why everything was muddled up!

Deleting the option in Language settings should have solved the problem.

Great to hear its fixed!
