computer help: how do you turn off the french keyboard? - Help.com

well, the language on the screen is fine, but my keyboard has some setting that changes a question mark into an e with a dash over it, and everything else iss all over the place; basically, it’s like having a french keyboard instead of an english keyboard.

Ok I got this off a randomn website:

You’ve got a different keyboard selected, possibly French or Canadian
French.

On my Vista system, I had to delete that keyboard map to keep it from being
randomly enabled. I never did figure out what was selecting it, and while
I’m Canadian, I have no reason to install a French keyboard map (and
wouldn’t have done so). I disabled every hotkey I could find related to
it and it would still switch.

Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, Keyboards and Languages,
Change Keyboards. Select the keyboard you that’s causing you grief and
choose Remove.

If you don’t remove the keyboard map, when this switch happens, you’ll have
to exit the application you’re in (Outlook, for example), change keyboards,
and restart the app. Changing keyboards without restarting the app doesn’t
seem to change the mapping.

Yea so try that & hope it works lol

thanx so much, i had to put up with it for two hours yesterday. im so bad with computers!! but it worked, thank you!
