only one thing I can suggest. When I set mine up using the getting started wizard, I selected UK extended. I don't know why I did, but I was playing on a hunch that the differences in keyboard layout on this machine might have something to do with it. If possible, find and select UK extended layout and your problems should be solved.

Hi,

Yes, on the Samsung NC10 I have here, you have to press the function key to get colon. The keyboard is UK English, so I don't quite know what is going
on here.

All the best

Steve

Steve, your talking rubbish. The keyboard is a little different yes, but no

way is the colon fn plus right shift.  Are you sure you have the keyboard
layout set correctly? colon is semicolon shifted if I'm not mistaken
*smile*.

Hi Andy,

You haven't been reading my messages <Smile>  I don't like the Asus
range, not enough storage.  I prefer the MSI Wind, even over the Samsung
Netbook.  it has a nicer keyboard, and the right shift is in the right
place, an annoyance to me with the Samsung.   The other thing about the
Samsung is that you have to press the FN key with the shift key if you
want a colon, otherwise you seem to get a dash.  'orrible machine.

Sorry Jackie, I don't like it <Smile>.

All the best

Steve
