The problem was with the language settings... apprently US international language makes it like that... odd.. it's back to canadain english ----------------------------------- recneps Wed Mar 17, 2004 12:30 pm ----------------------------------- On Another keyboard topic, anyone know how to get custom buttons to work? I had an emachines computer, with like 20 buttons at the top that link to sites, but then they disabled the service, and they no longer work, is there a way i can program where they go to or something?(right now they do nothing) ----------------------------------- jonos Wed Mar 17, 2004 4:07 pm ----------------------------------- i have the same problem. i have it with: "" ^^ ~~ `` '' and ** do you have a microsoft keyboard, because that is what mine is and it does the same. i have spent many minutes/hours truing to fix this, and i haven't been able to, so i have just learned to live with it. i think its just because MS is screwed up. ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Mar 17, 2004 5:25 pm ----------------------------------- no dude, go to controle panel->regional and language options->Advance and then select ... English (CANADA) or w/e you want, if that don't work go to the LANGUAGE TAB and click details and then select the 'keyboard' and add W/e language you want and then select the first check box and make the selection US. And then once your done click ok or w/e, and delete every thing else (except US) under 'keyboard' that should do it :D ----------------------------------- jonos Wed Mar 17, 2004 5:53 pm ----------------------------------- yeah man now it works " ' ^ ` ~ h;ah ----------------------------------- da_foz Fri Mar 19, 2004 12:50 am ----------------------------------- Good luck reading this one!
