   How can I work like this?
  I am currently at my dads work doing some jobs there as administrator. However, the PC he gave me has this most annoying thing with the keyboard. When I press the "-key nothing happens. I if press again "" appears. This is one part of Windows that I was never able to fix. I had it a dozen times at home and I my only solution was to reinstall the pc back then. Nowadays I never reinstall so I don''t have the problem. Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying keyboard problem?Sand Hawk    -----------------Earth is 98% full.

  Well I'm not entirely sure, but seeing you are from the netherlands (as I am) I think I know what the problem is. You should check your keyboard settings in the configuration screen, especially the language. The reason why you have to type 2 "'s is because it allows you to easily write punctuation marks. For example, you can type the 'é' by hitting the "'" key and then the 'e' key.If you have Win98se, you can change it like this:Click Start -> Settings -> ConfigurationscreenDoubleclick the keyboard icon, change to the 'language' tab, click 'Add' and set the language to 'English (US)'. Click apply and your done.I don't know how to do it on another version of windows, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out...Greetz, MainForzeEDIT: Added explanation why it works like that.[edited by - MainForze on January 2, 2003 7:52:42 AM];  I''ve had it once when I switched from an azerty to a qwerty. No problems in Win98, but it did occur on Win2k (same machine). After reinstalling it disappeared. A mystery? Bill knows...(I had the same for the ~ and '', strange)    Click NOW!;  This is a Windows 2000/XP machines. It are compaq''s that had an special install program on it. The language English is already defined but doesn''t solve the problem.Sand Hawk
