Title: Keyboard help
Post by: Wantija$$$ on August 09, 2011, 12:15:40 am
So on my Windows XP unit Ive come across a bit of a tragedy with my keyboards inputs. When ever I try to type in a question mark (and quotation marks, apostrophes left arrow thing and right arrow thing), it turns out like this: É.

So if any one could tell me how to fix this, I would gladly appreciate it.

Sorry, they didn't work...

Also I guess I should've mentioned this before, but I'm running XP on BootCamp via Mac and using a Mac keyboard. Sorry about the inconvenience...

(used spell check to get those apostrophes in >_>)

Windows on a Mac keyboard? Well there's your problem I'm afraid...

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Aside from that, is it one of those keyboards that's built into the Mac, or an external one you'd find on a non-all in one PC?

even all in ones have standard keyboards - laptops are the only computers with keyboards built in.

Sorry; that shows me inexperience with all-in-one computers. >>;

Alright, have you checked the line into the computer?

It's all clean. probably just something in the settings that my Dad did or something. Besides I've got my Linux unit that's a million times better :P

Ok, I found out the problem. I was using English (Canada) as my standards and formats thing, so I switched it to English (United States).
