The pound sign [Help needed]

[Benjamin]

Okay I can't seem to get the pound sign to work after four days. At first I couldn't find it, but then saw it's above the number 3. But everytime I try use it I get # not the pound sign. WHY? :(

[Vicky.]

Go into control panel, then language settings..and just check its on UK?

[Smithy]

click ctrl 3 and it might work?

[Benjamin]

Neither suggestion worked. :(

[Marcus.]

i would click the # and see what happens

[Benjamin]

Okay my quotation sign on number 2 is now coming up as the @ sign. :suspect:

[Vicky.]

I dont know how to help if your settings are UK. This happens to me sometimes and its because for some reason my keyboard decides its a US one :joker:

[Benjamin]

Yes it's doing just that.

[Benjamin]

This wanky piece of ****ing ****. I swear I'm going to launch it out the ****ing window in the minute.

[Lee.]

Ben, have you checked your keyboard settings are set to UK

:hugemike:

[Vanessa]

[Benjamin]

None of this is working

[Vicky.]

All that is left to do is to throw it out of the window and then buy a new one I am afraid :idc:

Try putting the number lock on and typing 0163 on the numeric pad, whilst holding down ALT at the same time.

[Josy]

Turn on the number lock then hold ALT & type 0163 on the number pad

[Josy]

Ah bloody hell just noticed Ryan had already posted that :laugh:

[Z]

Sounds like your keyboard is set to US and not UK, I know everyone else has said this but my keyboard does that too every now and then. " and @ become switched, that's when I notice, I don't normally use the £ sign on my keyboard so I've never noticed if it's switched when my keyboard has turned into the US one but that's what it sounds like.

[Benjamin]

Thank you everyone, but still no joy. I can't find num lock either. :(

[Ryan57]

Thank you everyone, but still no joy. I can't find num lock either. :(

Number lock should be to your right where the numberic pad is.

[Josy]

You can't find the number lock?

Right, stop buying keyboards out of the £ shop Ben :idc:

[Benjamin]

It's a laptop, without a number pad.

[Benjamin]

You can't find the number lock?

Right, stop buying keyboards out of the £ shop Ben :idc:

Oh just rub salt in the wound by saying pound shop. :(

[Josy]

:joker:

There should still be a light that indicates the number lock is on though

[Jords]

Maybe its sticky keys? I hate when that **** starts lol

[Suze]

All that is left to do is to throw it out of the window and then buy a new one I am afraid :idc:

That made me laugh out loud :laugh2: Straight to the point Vicky, love it :D not the advice Ben was expecting probably though :laugh2:
