HELP !!.. new laptop
Jeannine:
Hi my new laptop arrived yesterday and I have two problems with it already but I have a feeling it is me.
The keys on the keyboard are not doing what they should
eg if I use shift over the 2 I should get a @ , but I don't, I get a " The @ sign is coming when I do a shift over the ' apostrophe
Shifting over the 3 gives me a £ when it should give me a cross hatch..it isn't anywhere else by the way.
Is this a fault with the machine or am I able to change something HELP

i think its the new type of keyboard mine has the same as yours as i only finger type i wouldnt know it any different lol

You need to set your keyboard language to US not US International or European which should solve it.
Applies to Windows 10
1.Go to Settings > Time & language > Region & language.
2.Choose one of your languages, then select Set as default.
If it is not there already select add and it will download and install your chosen one
daveyboi:
I see from the other topic you are on Windows 7 or 8 you will find the settings in control panel under Clock, Language, and Region
Jeannine:
When I started it yesterday it asked if I wanted English or US. I told it English as I was fed up of the other correcting my English spelling so I thought I was doing right. However when I turned the machine on it slowly took me through the setting up now I am not sure how to get back to that bit. XX Jeannine
