Windows XP SP3
Have had a complete rebuild done (at a shop here in France) due to everything being lost. When l got it back, l just don't know what they've done. It's a cross between mainly English with some French bits thrown in just to confuse matters, and it's TAKING me ages to sort out bringing it back to how it once was.
Now how can a little old logitec qwerty keyboard be so *censored* annoying? It seems that a couple of keys are swapped around and one isn't working at all. Being nearly brain dead, l can't fathom it out after all of this.
The numeric 2 and open quotes key - the open quotes is now the @ sign.
The apostrophe and @ key - the @ sign is now the open quotes sign.
The numeric 3 and english pound sign - the pound sign is now a HASH sign.
I used to press ctl+alt+number 4 key to get the euro sign - now nothing happens at all.
Via control panel, the keyboard is stated as a standard 101/102 and the regional language is set to English (uk).
What am l missing here?
1) No IDEA what a "complete rebuild" is.
2) Since you apparently paid someone to "fix" your system, I'd suggest taking it back to them.Thanks Allan,
Lost external hdd, so all backups gone.
Now have a new motherboard, new processor, and new SATA hdd's. They had to copy the info from my old ide hdd to the new sata drive, but of course had to install Windows first and as l only had the upgrade disk, that's where the problems started.
I've nearly got back everything to how it was, but l've got a big head with IE8 and also this keyboard. Just wodered whether anyone had any ideas as to why the keys weren't working as they should.
Finally fixed it after trial and error and a bit of good luck.
It wanted setting up as english EXTENDED and not just english.
Thanks anyway.
