Hi, I have a slight problem with my keyboard; when I use shift and press the / key to make a question mark, it doesn't work, it just prints a capitol E with an accent over it. Anyone know how to fix this. it does it will other keys too. Thanks

It appears that something has changed the type of keyboard in the keyboard setup. If you go into Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager and scroll down to Keyboard, click on the + sign, what does it say you are using?

There must have been some software that came with it, then. Try reinstalling it.

But, it isn't working today. You could also try a restore point.

I have no experience with bad keyboards except when mine wear out, I get a new cheap one.

You could try uninstalling it in Device Manager and rebooting. Windows might install the right driver again. It's worth a shot.
