CHANGING KEYBOARD SETTINGS

Your keyboard settings may not match the keyboard type that came with your computer. This usually happens due to wrong keyboard selection during system setup when the computer is put on for the first time after purchase.

The effect of this is that you may not get the right character from your keyboard for a few keys. An example is when you intend picking the @ symbol from the keyboard and it gives you a quotation mark (").

The solution is to change your keyboard language.

To do this, follow the steps outlined below:

1. Click the Start button and type "intl.cpl" without the quotation marks. Press enter key.
2. Click on the "Keyboard & Language" Tab.
3. Click on "Change Keyboard".
4. Click on "Add" button.
5. Scroll down to English USA and expand it by clicking + sign.
6. Check the box for United States-International.
7. Click OK
8. Click on the General Tab
9. Under "Default input language" select English(United States) and click OK.
10. Click OK again.
11. Restart the system.
