Keyboard mapping issue

[deathpixie]

Question on behalf of Alvin, who has just had his PC reimaged and is discovering a whole new family of glitches. *wry* At the moment, his keyboard mapping is weird - instead of / , he's getting that e with the accent over it, instead of \ he's getting > and instead of > he's getting only periods. Anyone about with a quick fix? Troubleshooting on the keyboard under Control Panel is coming up as everything being fine, and I'm at a bit of a loss where else to poke around.

Edit: And fixed - somehow it got switched onto the Canadian English keyboard, which assumes you'd prefer French e's to backslashes. It's been flipped back to US English. Bah.

This might help: Simply double-click on the Keyboard icon in Control Panel, and click on the Language tab (it's in the Input Locales tab in Windows 2000 and Windows XP). However, it is often useful to create your own keyboard map, for example, or simply want to swap your Caps-lock and Ctrl keys.

*goes to try*

Edit: Go to the troubleshoot button and type in keyboard layout and some instructions will pop up. :D I'd put them on here but they're long.

Something like that happened to me once -- I had my language and setup preferences as 'Canadian,' which provides easy access to French characters. Might not be the problem, but I thought I'd mention it.

*grins* You win, although I had to call our IT guy to find it...
