Do you mean phisically or just when you type? Like, you go to type in "M" and get ":" |

Go into the Control Panel Double click "Regional and Language Options" Click the "Details" button in the section that says "Text services and input languages" Then in the Installed services section you can just add the language option you want. If you have more than one language installed you will get the little language changing icon on the taskbar. If that is missing right click on the Taskbar, go to Toolbars and make sure "Language Bar" is ticked. Kind Regards, Me. |

You can also Remove languages using the same method as outlined above. Hugs and Kisses, Me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Try control panel ---> regional and language options ---> languages ---> details, then change your setting to uk settings. |
||||||||
|

ok i think i've got it now. if you go to the control panel, then choose regional and language options, then click on details you should be able to choose british fron there. hope that helps. |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

OK there is a program that allows you to type different keys by pressing different keys.... let me see what it was.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is Keys+ http://www.kalteis.de/Freeware/Tastatur/1a.htm I hope it downloads... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try it if installing drivers does not work, unless you do not mind wasting RAM |
