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.

Just tell me straight if I did get what you mean or not

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

The Canadian French cannot be removed because the remove button is shaded can can’t click on it.

if you are using windows 7, on the bottom right corner is a keyboard, make sure US is selected and not canadian french or canadian multilingual
