Re: Missing the 'at' sign

Hi,

Thanks, for the extensive answer.

If I switch to a British English keyboard I can access the 'at' located on
the ' key (press shift + '). And if I switch to French keyboard I can access
the 'at' sign on the 2 key (press shift + 2).
This makes me wonder if the Swedish keyboard layout is corrupt in the sense
that it is missing the 'at' sign.

Is their any way to restore the keyboard layout to original?

Regards,
Stefan

Hi,

I have problems with my missing 'at' sign. All other keys seams to be
working, what cam be wrong?? I am using a Dell D620 with an USB Digital
Media Keyboard 1.0 attached. I don't remember when this problem first
appeared but it is really annoying.

I have tried to test my keyboard with the mskey tool and there is nothing
wrong with the key so I tried to change keyboard layout but it doesn't
seem to change anything.

Is there someone that has some ideas??

Regards,
Stefan
