Keyboard in another language (and other probs)

This bumpkin needs help!

Something has happened to the poota. It seems to be acting as though we've just bought it, well partially at least.

It*nes seems to have completely reset itself and whilst I've managed to restore some of it, the rest of it I'll have to do manually - boring.

IE has lost all record of my favourites - again not really a problem there was a load of rubbish on there anyhow.

But really annoyingly, it is treating my Spanish keyboard as though it is English (i.e. if I press _ then ? will come up instead as that is what is in that position on an english keyboard). Does anyone know what I can do to change this setting? We have wind*ws xp in english, though clearly this hasn't been a problem before.

BTW I'm typing this on my little eeepc, much less stressful!

I think I sorted it. Took a lot of trial and error though!

Now back to i-bleedin-tunes :cussing:

Sounds like you might have run a system restore by accident. The keyboard is set under Control Panel ? Regional Settings - there's about five or six different places where languages and regions are held which is a right pain.
