Hiya all,

I'm an IT professional and embarrassed to say that I don't know the answer to this question.

I have a IBM Thinkpad T42 and although the regional settings and input locale are set to English (UK), the keybord seems to by typing everything in English (US)

I've tried everything I can think of short or re-installing XP again, PLEASE, can somebody tell me a fix for this ?

Cheers,

Scott

Thank you Adamski - I had got any odd sequence for any odd key and followed your advice a step further to change key sequence - sanity restored!

Thanks

TRy Alt-Shift. This will toggle the keyboard to the language you need.
