Answer 1 :
u probly have the NUM LOCK on, press it again and turn it off. Tell me if that works or not but thats the most common cause
Answer 2 :
Go into the control panel and select regional and language options. Add a UK keyboard layout and delete the US layout and you are sorted.
Answer 3 :
pray
Answer 4 :
Check the drivers. for the keyboard you use. when you re-do a computer, default info gets set up again. if it came with software, use it. Otherwise, it will only work as a normal keyboard
Answer 5 :
Sounds like you're having the wrong keyboard layout. Go to Control Panel and open the Regional and Language Options. On the Languages tab, press the Details button. In here, you can select your keyboard layout.
Answer 6 :
Go to control panel select regional language select the tab language click on the detail button click on add and chose your region and remove the other keyboard language good luck you can also post any pc related problems at http://www.freeshare4all.ucoz.com

Should I buy a new laptop in the USA before I move, or in the UK after I arrive.
Should I buy a new laptop in the USA before I move, or in the UK after I arrive?
My current laptop feels like it weighs 100lbs and I am thinking about getting one of the newer, lightweights (even though mine works fine for what I need). I know there is a difference with the electric, but I used a converter before with no problems. I'm just wondering on which side of the pond I will find the best deal.

Answer 1 :
Surely you will get the best deal in the USA side! I live in UK, but my both laptops an old one and new where brought from the USA ;) Don't think twice, just go for one of the lightweights (Mac Air is really cool) and be happy!
Answer 2 :
Definitely USA I agree. Even in Sweden where I live a Mac for instance is double the usd price and the UK is allot more expensive then Sweden. I'm gonna buy a new laptop when I go to Miami next month for sure. Btw thanx for your answer.
Answer 3 :
If you buy in the UK then you'll be able to get warranty repair in the UK while if you buy in the US you'll be able to get warranty repair in the US. Whether you'll be able to get a warranty repair outside the country you buy it in will depend on whether you are a citizen of that country. If you're a US citizen then you can buy a laptop in the US and if it breaks you can get it fixed anywhere in the world under warranty while a UK citizen will only be able to get a laptop bought in the US fixed under warranty in the US (i.e. paying for out of warranty repairs or shipping it to the US and back). Laptop reliability does seem to have improved although there I haven't seen any decent statistics on it but if a laptop does break it'll be expensive to fix out of warranty.

If i buy a laptop in america, will i have any region block difficulties when i get it back to the UK?
If i buy a laptop in america, will i have any region block difficulties when i get it back to the UK?
e.g. games not installing that are from the UK, software only working from US sites blah blah blah. Also my other question is, if i buy parts for a PC like graphics card, RAM, motherboard, CPU etc, will it work with parts sold in the UK?

Answer 1 :
If you do run into software errors, know that; there are a vast number of Regional patches that will update/convert just about any game and most programs to a different language/driver set. The only real problem I know of in terms of Regional hardware comes in the form of DVD players, That is: In order for you to play a UK encoded DVD on an American DVD player, you must First change that drive's Regional setting to the appropriate region. The problem is that the drive will only allow you to change the region code an average of 5 times. And then its permanently set to whatever the last change you made was.
