    i have an old keyboard that works fine, except that the keyboard layout is fine visually, when looking at the buttons, but when i try to press the " button, it comes up as @
    i found out that this is the MAC layout, but it's doing my head in when typing html codes, and i dont know how to change the buttons back?

    does anyone here know how to do this?

    thanks

    does this only happen when you type html? if you are using frontpage or anything from MSoffice for html, there is a menu that allows you to assign a symbol over another key. i think you can re-assign the key.

    does it do this if you plug it into another computer? i think the keyboard might just have gone wack.

    Did you register it as a different style keyboard? IE. English-UK or English-US

    I would think it's either that or maybe you changed the regional setting change.
