Roger, its under regional settings in control panel. I think language and possibly advanced too. Bit of a hassel. I had to do this with my sister's laptop which, in spite of having a British keyboard, was configured for the US layout. Possibly because it was part of a remaindered line. Cheers, From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- roger south Hi All My wife is getting incorrect signs on her laptop. The pound sign is a hash sign and the apostrophe/@ key is an apostrophe in upper and lower case. The @ is on the top line of the keyboard. I thought it was the Regional Settings in Control Panel but that is clearly on UK so I now don't know where to look. Any help will be appreciated Many thanks Roger ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
