@ symbol on wrong key

#1 Post by derke92 » Mon Jul 07, 2008 5:39 am

Hi,
This is my first post so I have probably done it wrong.

I have installed W2K into my 600E and when I want to type the @ symbol I have to press shift then the number 2 key and not the key that the @ symbol is on.
Can anyone help me to get it back on the correct key please?

Regards,
Derek. :?

Hi Derek!

Welcome!

"AltGr" + "Q" doesn't work?

You have to set the correct keyboard layout in Windows Control Panel. Shift-2 is the default combination on U.S. and similar layouts.
X220/IPS, T60p/IPS
Nothing endures but change
