Ah... ok... Allen, this probably isn't a keyboard problem, since its 3 different keyboards not showing the same 3 characters. Assuming you're using Windows XP, go to CONTROL PANEL > DATE, TIME, LANGUAGE, AND REGIONAL OPTIONS > REGIONAL AND LANGUAGE OPTIONS. Now, under the REGIONAL OPTIONS tab, STANDARDS AND FORMATS should be ENGLISH (UNITED STATES), and LOCATION should be UNITED STATES. If you have something different, doesn't necessarily mean its wrong, cause it also depends where you're located. But, let's check these first. ::: Troth ::: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ICQ: 1717439 MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx Yahoo IM: SirTroth AIM/AOL: SirTrothX ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :::Original Message :::Sent Mon, 6 Oct 2003 11:58:37 +0100 by Angela Cooke | He means that his keyboard will not produce !
