Character Help For Keyboard by Nobody: 1:35pm On Feb 06, 2012 |
Whenever i press the shift key and then (') in order to get the @ sign i get (" appearing instead. This causes me to have to press the shift key and then the number 2 key in order to get the @ sign. How do i fix this so that when i press shift and (') key i get @ as was originally meant for the purpose of the keys? |
