My key board is acting funny for last few days. " and @ positions have interchanged and Hash is not available anywhere anymore. have abnother friend of mine who is also facing the smae problem, so it does not seem to be a hardware problem. I have done full virus check and the comp is completely clean. Any help will be highly appreciated.

updating the keyboard's drivers, it is a long shot, but might do something.

I have a standard 101 keys Logitech key board and Win XP's generic drivers work just fine for such key boards.

By the way I could locate # on my key board. It is now available by \ key. Got to lcate \ now.

Sounds like your Regional Options has changed.

If you were using US English region has that changed to UK English, or something else? Check the Control Panel, "Date, Time and Regional Options", then "Regional and language options.
