You need to set up your keyboard locallity (e.g. english, american, french etc). They vary. It should be in Control Panel > Keyboard. (I cant really help any more due to being in linux )

Well it should do -_- you have to set the locallity settings elsewhere too, also in control panel. It really should have asked you for all the info during the installation, it does for me :\

If you have windows XP look for the language bar and change it to whatever you need. UK for me.

The language bar should be off by default, I hate it myself.

It took me FOREVER to figure out how to get rid of it, at first i just right clicked the task bar and turned it off there, but it would always come back after i restart or log back in...ugh


My BLOG really sucks...

go to control panel, regional and language options, languages tab, click options, then change the keyboard at the bottom, it will currently be on US, just select one that uses English and you will be ok



we know where area 51 is, but where are areas 1 to 50?, and what do they do there?.
