My friend's pc is being all silly and everytime they type @ they get ".

Is there a way to fix that with any setting that anybody knows of?

[LukeB]

Does it write in caps when the caps lock isn't on?

[T*]

their keyboard is like what the mac is, they should get @ when they click shift-2 now

[reece(:]

Shift key and " and it should work if they've been swapped.

[Locke.]

Think that's how all European keyboards are, apart from British ones. Always had to copy and paste the @ sign from a google search when I used the computers in hostels

[Benjamin]

Is there a way to swap them back?

[waterhog]

your problem sounds like my wife.

[Ramsay]

Shift and 2 will get @ working. as reece said, it appears they've been swapped. this happens sometimes, no idea how to properly fix it though.

..Ben....you sweetheart...thank you..and I've managed to find the @ so thanks all, at least I can get emails and I can get on here...I've fairly much messed my laptop up by restoring to factory settings but I'll just work it out bit by bit and hopefully be able to get my programmes back...thank you Ben and thank you all for the help.....

US keyboard has been selected, change in the control panel of the computer or the configuration of whatever program it's happening in.

..I managed to change it back Josy, there was an icon at the bottom of the page but it still reverts back so I have to try to remember to do it each time I log on...that's ok though for the moment until I sort it out properly but ughh, I can't seem to install Office Word again or another photoshop type software I got so that's something I have to look at again today...I've also gone back to Windows 8, so am trying to work out how to use that ..I really don't know what I was thinking....I somehow thought I was just restoring to an earlier time and that would get rid of the problems I was having but I restored to factory by mistake....duh...
