Hi,

I have been here before and had some great response on problems... and as you have guesed, I'm back

A friend of mine has just bought a new laptop and when setting it up for the first time he set the keyboard settings to UK and not US. In South Africa we use US keyboard settings (Strangely enough )

Please can someone tell me how to change these settings as I have gone into control panel > keyboards and have not been able to fix this problem.

Thanx in advance

START > CONTROL PANELS
Open up Regional and Language Options
Click the Languages tab and click DETAILS
Under Installed Services is where you can add the US keyboard layout and remove the UK layout.

Click ADD and select your input language and select your keyboard layout.
Click OK and go ahead and click the other one and choose remove.

Hope this helps!

I often have the exact opposite problem, annoying american keyboards and there @ and " in the wrong place.

one could argue that your @ and " are in the wrong place.....plus..you haven't seen anything till you try to type on a japanese keyboard
