    its driving me scrazy.. whenever i do a clean install of my os, my keyboard always reverts back to its retarded state...

    shift + 2 = @ sign
    shift + @ = " sign
    shift + 3 = # sign
    shift + # = | sign

    any ideas how to revert to a working keyboard config? in xp pro?

    its highly annoyin do alot of work at uni and at home and its a pain remembering the signs e.t.c

    configure it as Canadian French.

    you'll be able to make all the symbols: é à è ê ë ç £££££££££££££££££££££
    £ = altcar + 3

    do the same, and add the UK English lang, if it doesnt already show up, also make sure you apply the settings, it may require a restart of the system.

    Hi there

    Strange as it may seem, go to 'start' - 'settings' - 'control panel' and then go to 'keyboard'. I followed the language settings advice and got nowhere. In 'keyboard' go to 'language', click on 'add' and then find 'English (British)' and then 'OK'. You will be asked for your Windows Installation disk. When you have done this remove English (American) and then reboot.
    That's how I did it on Windows 98 SE

    So long
