'at' symbol won't work on my laptop


Recommended Posts

So I reinstalled the windows 7 RTM on my DV2000 laptop today and I was trying to sign into facebook and I noticed that my 'at' button didn't work, i pressed shift and 2 and all it did was give me " that. All the other buttons work like normal except that one. Any help? thanks in advance.

Sure can. Control Panel > Region and Language

Or type Region and Language into the Start Menu on Vista/Win 7 (I'm running 7 it might be worded slightly differently)

You should get a windows like this:

Change accordingly

Start > Search for "Regional and Language Options" and change the keyboard layout etc to what you need.

That's how you change the layout to what you need and you can avoid this altogether by selecting a UK extended keyboard after Windows completes installation and asks you what keyboard you have..

Since you're in Canada you probably have French installed. Make sure you remove Canada Multilingual and remove French and install US English or Canada English and it should resolve the issue.
