Hi, Robbie,
You may have put your finger on the problem yourself.
If the machine was built in Japan, it is possible that it is still set up as a
Japanese keyboard or other Japanese setting.
go into control Panel and check through the regional settings. see if there is
anything there that you can set to Ireland.
If this is the case, I would also go and check the date and time settings to
see if they are set up for GMT.
take care,

How will you know when you get there?

Hi Ed!
Don't quite know what you're talking about. What is it that appears in your
emails?
meanwhile here's one from me. A puzzler alright, one that drove me up the
wall over the weekend.
Having had my new laptop for a few days only, I was using Note Pad since I
hadn't installed Office yet.
Repeatedly, the text was displayed backwards. That's to say, while the lines
stayed in order, the text in each line ran from right to left. So I had to
press ctrl-cursor-left from the end of the line, in order to move forwards
through the words.
Unless this has anything to do with the fact that the machine was built in
Japan, I am utterly clueless as to what causes this phenomenon. Guesses welcome.

Hi folks,
It doesn't appear in all other emails. it isn't visually on the screen,
well not unless you have to be a psychic and Brigid isn't! and it doesn't seem
to be there if you read word by word.
