Hi all,
Just buyed a vaio 2cs-h.
I am very enthousiastic but have problems with the keybord. How do I type the @ and question mark.

Hi pinchee and welcome to Club Vaio.

It depends on what keyboard is fitted to your Vaio.

Have a look at this Microsoft Site Keyboard Layouts (you must use IE to see this properly)and work out what keyboard is fitted. You will then need to make sure the Input Language matches the layout in Vista.

Control Panel -> Clock -> Language and Region -> Options -> Change Keyboards.

If you have a Dutch keyboard and the Input Language is set to Dutch, the @ symbol is the top left key to the left of the number 1. The ? is 'Shift + /'

hi people,

this is my first time here and i happen to have the same keyboard problem with the vaio c2s-h laptop. i bought mine two days ago here in amsterdam. during the installation, i was asked to choose between english and dutch as the language of the operating system. being no native speaker of dutch, i chose english and the installation went perfectly fine... until i found out that the keys @ and " are interchanged. i did try changing the keyboard language of my keyboard (Dutch, English US, English UK, and English International) via the control panel but it didn't help solve this annoyance. after reading pinchee's post here, it would seem that having a dutch OS (if he did choose this language) also does not solve the problem. has anyone any suggestion? keyboard keys should be where they are supposed to be, right?.

the second problem i discovered is the loss of my audio whenever i join a chat conference (in yahoo, for example). sony has an audio driver update (for realtek) that i installed but it was of no help. i read in other forums that this could be a vista issue, but i have yet to hear someone offer a solution. this is nasty, considering that i do a lot of voice conferencing with my work colleagues and, most important, with loved-ones and friends back home. can anyone help, please?

i have solved my problem with the keyboard. @ and " are back to their proper places. i tried changing the keyboard language again and chose UK English as default.

the only problem im trying to solve now is the missing audio in conference chat...
