Keyboard Trouble

Anyone have any ideas why my keyboard does not type what the key says. This is what I get when I type Question mark key É. This is what I get when I type the quotation mark key è. I have no idea what is causing this. The keys all seem free and good.

Re: Keyboard Trouble

Vista allows you to keybind certain things tochange the language.

We often use modifiers ctrl and shift in game.

CTRL + SHIFT tells vista to change keyboard language!

So for example / becomes é. Press CTRL+SHIFT again and it will still be é because it`s a slightly different french set up. Press CTRL+SHIFT once more and you'll get back to english and have the /.

/ - English
Press CTRL+SHIFT to get é
Press CTRL+SHIFT to get é again
Press CTRL+SHIFT to get back to /.
