My Keyboard, wtf?

[WACCOE]

It has been like this for a while now. When I got to do a Pound sign (Shift + 3) it does this # - why?

When I go to do an AT sign, as in what you put in an email address (thornbag99AThotmail.com), it does this " - why?


It's all muddled. Any simple way of gettign back how it used to be?


Ta. :)

You Keyboard sucks, buy a new one.

[JJBDude]

I'm not sure, but I am in the same situation as you, and I have just learnt to deal with it. I am lead to believe that my keyboard has had it's settings changed, and now operates as a American Keyboard would (meaning when we try the pound sign we get a #).

I tried fixing it (apparntly there is a EN logo in the bottom right corner toolbar but I never see one) but I always fail. I would also like to be able to fix my the problem. :)

[Killer 57]

Buy new Keyboards both of you.

[JJBDude]

It's the settings on our (well for me for sure) PC's that is making this happen, nothing is wrong with our keyboards.....

[WACCOE]

Oh, anyone know how to change them back to EU? Instead of this American bollox?

I go to do Speech Marks and I get an AT sign, watch: @ - LOL! Haven't found a way to do a Pound sign yet though, :s.

What a joke!

By a New PC

[JJBDude]

It's impossible to do the pound sign Thornbag, I've had my settings like this for a year now and I still haven't found a way to do it.

And killer 57, you are very funny. :|

[Killer 57]

Funny? Who said anything about being Funny?

It looks like your Keyboard is set to US Standerd, Shift+3=# for me, and
Shift+2=@.

[JJBDude]

Suggesting for someone to buy a new PC because some minor settings have changed on their PC is a incredibly lame attempt of being funny imo.

Least you tried to be helpful in your last post by posting some helpful information, I was starting to think you were only making those posts to bump up your post count.

[Killer 57]

No I think my Post count is high enough as it is.

[JJBDude]

I've done what the page says and I thought everything was going to work (my settings were switched to United States). However I click Ok to finish and come here to make my post and still I get ######### when I try to make the pound sign. Do I need to reboot my PC to make the change work?

Edit:- Aha I've done it, just had to click on the EN button in the bottom right corner and tick United Kingdom. >_< lol.

Its OK m8, I feel your Love :)

[AfroJoe]

You'd reverted to Yank keyboard settings, I think.

If it ever happens again, see the little sign at the bottom right that says "EN" - click that and select "English (United Kingdom)".

[Raide]

Usually when you reinstall XP it will revert back to US Keyboard adn may also revert if you have to Load a Windows Save Version too. That and the fact Windows loves being US *laughs*

[WACCOE]

Yeah, I had to re-install it like 5 months back and it's happened ever since then. :D

w00t!

££££££££££££££

[Blaze Lord]

You can also hold down alt and hit 0163 on your numpad for a £. Incidentally, over here, we call '#' a pound sign. ...And it means 'number'. Don't ask me how that works.

[Killer 57]

heh I never really thought about it Blaze, Pound heh.

That's what everyone used to tell me when I asked on a different messageboard. However the EN sign was never there for me, it is now but wasn't before. Strange. :brow

[Blaze Lord]

It's only there once you tell windows to display the language bar, otherwise it just assumes you want the default-default of 'Merican.

Same here. :D

Very strange.
