Okay-- weird but where's what happnes...

When i click the ' key or SHIFT+' nothing will display unless i click another key, then both of them would come
(what i mean is suppose i just click ' the quote key nothing will show up... but if i click the quote key ' and another key suppose A both will show up the quotation mark and the letter A)

can anyone help me here? it's only for this key---

Thats weird... maybe try taking the key out and see if theres anything underneath you could clean? But it sounds more like a software problem, try setting up keyboard again with windows... (i dont have XP, and im guessing thats what you havre as most ppl do :/)

well if it annoys you that much Wink

Anyways, is it a wireless one? If so there might be some interference or seomthing, or Windows just doesnt like you Very Happy

... no problem fixed, also i said before works prefectly for other users just not mine. The problem was with the language settings... apprently US international language makes it like that... odd.. it's back to canadain english

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)

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.

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 Very Happy
