Hi,

Can anyone help me? I have an hp compaq nx9005 laptop. However, the @ key does not work which is proving to be a nuisance when trying to write e-mails. There is nothing stuck under the key and the key is not dead as the inverted comma/apostrophe still works. I also have the same problem with the hash key beside it. The keyboard setting is UK.

Does anyone know how i can fix the problem?

Thank you
 
He zestie...

You will probably find that you will have to press Shift + 2 to see it. If so, post back here and I'll show you how to change it :)
 
# Change or add Keyboards

Microsoft Windows allows a number of different keyboard languages and layouts. Installation of the "typical", or "default" options provides capabilities for French, Spanish, and other Western European languages.

To change the keyboard languages and layout, click the Start button, then choose Settings, Control Panel, and Keyboard (or Regional and Language Options). Click the "Language" or "Input Locales" tab. Add a language and give it properties - one of which is the US-International English keyboard (see below). Use Apply to finish the process; the Windows installation CD is usually needed. The keyboard and multilanguage sections in Start - Help provide details.
