HELP...keyboard symbols have reset.....

squirrelchops

Hi all,
Just got my laptop back from being fixed as it had a virus.
Some things seem to have altered back to US version for some odd reason.

Anyway...the @ is not where is should be and is on the 2 key. Hope that makes sense. How do I get the keyboard to what it is showing in front of me?! I only realised it was above the 2 by experimenting with the keys as knew it was soemwhere!!!!

Thanks

It's the input locale.

The quickest thing I'd check is down the bottom right of your screen, see if there is a small symbol that says EN, if it does, left click it and choose English (United Kingdom). That should sort it

If you don't have that, or it doesn't work. You need to go into the control panel to change the input locale for the K/B (I'll do a quick lookup as my memory is a sieve) and I can't remember where it is (think it's under regional / language)

EDIT -Yep, it is

Regional and language options, need to make sure all fields have United Kingdom in them, you click the 2nd tab and click details. Then you can specify the default language there

Thanks for the speedy reply..I just managed to do it before I received your reply by fiddling about with keyboard language settings but thank you anyway!!!
