Keyboard acting funny..

[ashwyn]

Hi everyone!
Just got my VAIO notebook yesterday and so far, I'm pleased with what I see. Except for one thing -

I bought my notebook in Spain so it comes with a Spanish keyboard. However, the characters printed on the keys and the ones coming on the screen are not the same .. e.g. if I press the dash&underscore key, I get a ? (question mark)

I had a Dell before that I purchased in the UK, and the keys seem to be following THAT orientation and not the Spanish one.

Anyone know how I can fix it?

Cheers
A

Hi ashwyn and welcome to the forum.

You need to adjust the Keyboard Settings.

Go to Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages > Details. Click on keyboard > Add. Check the keyboard layout box and select the country of your choice. Click OK and then, under Settings > Default Input Language select that language from the drop down menu and click OK. Restart your computer and the keys should be as you want them.
