i have weird figuration of keys on some laptop im setting
windows on, and i don't know what to pick in the keyboard
settings for keys to work properly.

the keyboard has Q where A is supposed to be, W where Z is
supposed to be, and there's letter M where : is supposed to
be...

im lame when it comes to computer, so can someone help out?
:)

Do you mean phisically or just when you type?

Like, you go to type in "M" and get ":"

lay out of things

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.

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

then choose regional and language options, then click on
details you should be able to choose british fron there.
hope that helps.

try it if installing drivers does not work, unless you do
not mind wasting RAM
