Switching problem How do I get the @ symbol to switch back to normal from the " symbol

I had that problem before. When i installed windows 8 to my laptop, the keyboard goes that way. Try to click the key from what was the symbol appeared instead while you were pressing the 2 or @ key. Maybe they're switching each other...I cant find what was the reason why it happened, maybe the compatibility or driver issues. When i turned WIN 7 OS back...the keyboard works normally again.

Hi Aidamasansa

There is normally a switch that needs to be pressed in combination with the FN key or a switch on the side of the laptop, look for the bluetooth symbol somewhere on your laptop.
bluetooth symbol Google Search

ALL BOX SWITCHES HAVE A LITTLE HOLE ON BACK , YOU CAN USE A PIN TO CLICK IT AND RESET.

It's different on different laptops, normally it's FN and one of the F keys like F2 (normally it shows a symbol below the main key that looks similar to the wi-fi symbol), some have a slider switch on the front (Sony Viao's), others have a button somewhere on the top (Compaq/HP's).

1. Goto Start>>Control Panel>>Regional Setting
2. Goto Language
3. Goto Detail
   
4. Change Require Settings
   

The java symbol appears if an application/game is running in the background. press the activity key to view the running application/game and select "End" to close it.

it sounds like you have turned on either your language bar settings and sometimes switch to another language, there is a function key you are hitting causing the keys to lock on that setting

footballkenn,

normally toshiba tecra has 2 type of switches for the wireless radio.

One will be the normal switch, which I think you can see it mounted on, either on the side or the front of the laptop,
another switch will be the function key on the keyboard, which require you to press the "fn" key. Check your keyboard for a wifi symbol which normally a tower with a radio wave.

Hope this help, come back if you still have the same problem, or other problem.

Your rate for my solution is much appreciated. thanks.
