Re: Keyboard fault

I am in UK and the language is set for English
But on the keyboard there is no setting for language or country
Shift +2 gives @ and @ gives "
I don't know which country the keyboard was made for but since it is sold by
PC World I assume that they would only buy for the UK market

What settings. We can't see them. What country are you in. What country was
the keyboard made for. You specify keys in their unshifted state so what key
are you talking about - Shift + 2?

I spoke too soon. I had assumed that once I had carried out the operation
all would be sorted. However when I visited him the settings were correct
but still the wrong sign remained

Shift+2 for the "@" symbol is the normal way to type that character.

If your friend is thinking pressing Caps Lock will enable the 2nd
charcters of the numeral keys (like the caps lock makes all the
letters
uppercase), he is mistaken. The "Caps lock" doesn't work on the
number
keys across the top of the keyboard - the caps lock is for alpha
characters only.

It is not a fault.

A friend has a fault on his keyboard. If he wants @ he has to use "
(shift
2). How can he correct this?
