toshiba tecra 8100 keyboard problem

[joospeed]

Hi all.

Have just bought a secondhand laptop .. all working great except for then " and the @ keys are the wrong way around.

I had the same problem when i put a new keyboard on my old pc .. but a driver change solved that .. trouble is I can't find any drivers for the keyboard on the toshiba site or google.

anybody got any tips?

many thanks in advance.

Jools,

New keyboard for a Yankee Tecra 8000 cost me about £40 and took minutes to install.

Job done.

erm .. how would icheck that? just done a quickscan through control panel but nothing obvious.
it's running win xp pro version 2002 with service packn 1 if that means anything.

thanks for the two tips so far

Control Panel,
Regional and Language Options
Change them all to be English UK

START --> CONTROL PANEL --> SWITCH TO CLASSIC VIEW --> REGIONAL AND LANGUAGE OPTIONS

Then select English (United Kingdom).

Check through the tabs and make sure everything is set to the UK, not USA.

Control Panel/Region and language options/Languages(tab)/Details(button)

If it doesn't say English(United Kingdom), then you need to add it. Then delete the US one. you will need to restart your pc for it to take effect.
