You can also change key assignments here. Did that, but I still have the same problem. I can't see how to change the key assignments, it only seems to give me options to add other languages. |

| 672074 | 2008-05-25 05:24:00 | To check your IP address, in Vista, click start Orb, in the search type in CMD in the results open the command Prompt, type in ipconfig press enter. You will get something like This here (www.imagef1.net.nz) - look for the default gateway, thats the important one. < thats a XP screen shot, but more or less the same in Vista. Edited: in that case if you are only using windows firewall disable it on both computers, that way once the connections are made, then security can be added, I'd suggest Comodo firewall. Or if you don't like CMD, press the start orb, click network on the right side, then click network and sharing center in the top of the window that you just opened, then click view full map on the top right hand corner. Now place your mouse (do not click) over each pc that appears in the network map. It will give you an IP address for each PC. |

| 672075 | 2008-05-25 14:08:00 | Maybe this'll help Change your keyboard layout You can customize your keyboard for a specific language or format by changing the keyboard layout. The layout controls which characters appear on the screen when you press the keys on your keyboard. Some input languages have several keyboard layouts; others have only one. For example, you can change your keyboard layout from the English QWERTY format to the English Dvorak format. After you change the layout, the characters on your screen might not correspond to the characters on your keyboard keys. Before you can change the keyboard layout, you must add the input language and keyboard layout that you want to use to Windows. For more information, see Add an input language. From help files (typed in "qwerty" in Help And Support search) You're right about key assignment, I was wrong, sorry :( |

| 672076 | 2008-05-26 06:11:00 | Maybe this'll help From help files (typed in "qwerty" in Help And Support search) You're right about key assignment, I was wrong, sorry :( Don't worry, I finally had a brainwave and looked in the control panel of my PC to see what regional and language settings were in there. It had English (New Zealand) US for the default input language and EN English (New Zealand) - keyboard - US so I changed the settings on the laptop to match and voila! I now have my @ and quote marks back in their respective places! I uninstalled Word 2003 and reinstalled it and I now have Outlook working fine. I set it up with a couple of my email addresses so I can at least email from the laptop until I work out the file sharing side of things. Thanks everyone for all your help but I think working this out for myself (with your advice) is proving to be a bit beyond me, so I'm going to wait until a mate who works in computers (and does all my repairs) can take a look at it and show me what I need to be doing. Having said that, if he doesn't hurry up, I may sit down again and try and follow your steps! |
