Can anybody please tell me why, for no apparent reason, I now have to use shift @ to get inverted commas , whereas up until the last couple of days I have been using the normal shift ". I have had this problem before on an older computer, and it resolved itself. I am now using a MSI laptop, but I would rather not wait for a self resolution. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Has the brute done any 'updates' behind your back? Mine seems to have and I've lost my pound sign, now get hash and for @ it's a capital 2.
I've tried to get into keyboard settings etc but it's ignoring me.
It's a nuisance.

albaqwerty,
Thank you for your response, the answer to your question is yes I think so. The problem is not insurmountable, but it is s nuisance.
I think we'll need to hijack a techie for help :)
Thank you Chuck x

Chuck, thank you, I have printed off the info from your link. I checked the on screen keyboard , and it is showing the " sign where the @ should be. I then went to change the keyboard, made sure that English(UK) was selected as default for Language and Keyboard, checked OSK again, but no change. Any other ideas please?
Do you actually use the OSK? and is the proper keyboard working OK

I'd suggest going back into the language settings and removing everything but english(UK).

Chuck , thanks again. I did that having installed latest important update, rebooted, same problem.
THanks everyone for your help, I will learn to live with it.
Thanks again.
