Which operating system do you use? It sounds like your keyboard has changed from QWERTY settings to DVORAK settings. I could be wrong though.

Your PC has somehow been switched over from the English keyboard layout to the American layout. From the start menu select ''Control Panel'', then select ''Regional and Language Options' and on the ''Regional Options'' tab, check that you have ''English (United Kingdom)'' selected. Then go to the ''Languages'' tab, select ''Details'' and check that your keyboard is set to ''English (United Kingdom)''. This should fix your problem, assuming that you are running XP (and that you are in UK!). Richard

If Richard's directives don't fix the problem, and there has been no beverages spilled on the keyboard, it could be that your 'driver' needs updating. GOOGLE the manufacturer of your keyboard. Once on their official home page there is usually a SEARCH feature......input the model of your keyboard and see if there are any available updates for your particular keyboard - if there is, download the update.....Make sure, too, that your visiting the MICROSOFT UPDATES site often and that your downloading and installing all the CRITICAL and RECOMMENDED updates.
