My keyboard is mixing up " and @ & a few other keys since I had my pc reconfigured. How do I change it back?

I had the exact same problem with my last keyboard, The key which is supposed to be " actually was @, and then the other way around. I just had to learn to live with it, until I got a new keyboard and now everything is normal, I tried everything to fix the problem with no success, I don't even know which made it switch from " to @ it just happened one day, so my advice would be to live with it and you will quickly learn to automatically go to the right key, either that or get a new keyboard.

If you bought it new - Take it back to the store.\n\nIf it is Used and you cant take it back - Check the keyboard connections. Look in the manual on how to remove Keyboard. If you dont have the manual , look it up online they are everywhere. You may need to replace the Keyboard.

try Alt+3 (the number 3 that on your right side of keyboard, not the one on top)☺♥

Suggestions:\ncheck that the connection is secure - it may be that simple.\n\nCan you temporarily swap it around with the keyboard on another PC?  This might indicate whether the problem lies with the keyboard or the driver.\n\nIf you go to the device manager and uninstall the keyboard, then reboot, the driver should be reloaded when Windows detects the new hardware as it restarts.  That may fix the problem...\nHope this helps...

Sometimes there are hidden keys.\n\nTry [Shift] + F4  (should be F16)

If it only does this while holding down the right shift-key, then I would say you have a bad right shift-key.\n\nI'd try swapping the keyboard with another (borrow one from a friend if you don't have a second one) and see if it still occurs.  If it doesn't, then just buy a new keyboard... they're cheap. If it does still happen, then you'll have to look deeper, it might be either the operating system or the keyboard control chip on the motherboard.

Shifting each key one to the left on a keyboard gives:\n"I got the first two workds. Nit it for kinda weird.".

1) Click over your Desktop with the Right mouse button.\n2) Click on Properties\n3) Click on Configuration\n4) Click on Advanced Properties.\n\nThere must be an option for changing it back, some "funny" person must have done this to you.

Yes Alt + F4. To switch between them is Alt + Tab. Hope this helps. Rock.

If you're talking about this: ♥ then all you have to do is press Alt and 3 on the number keypad at the same time. Some fonts don't support that character, though. So if you end up getting a ? or some other symbol, try changing the font.

There is probably a function key labeled "Fn".  And you will see keypad numbers in blue labeled on some of the existing keys.  You can use the same keystroke for ê.\n\nYou can also use the character map, located under Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Character Map.\n\nEnjoy!

This display comes from Windows help. This message has text plus graphics (display of the keys) in it. As far as I know this cannot be altered.
