Hi, I'm having a very strange problem with my keyboard, that is not hardware related cause I tested every key and it's working... The thing is that I lost the @ and the #. Usually, alt car is used to provide more caracters on the keyboard. Starting from left to right \ _ _ _ _ _ ¬ ¦ ² ³ _ ½ ¾. The _ are the keys that are not working anymore with alt car, but they work perfectly cause I can write 1 2 3 4 5 and 0, and with shift, everything is alright | ! " / $ % ? & * ( ) _ +

So what's wrong? Having to copy-paste @ each and everytime is quickly getting annoying so hope to have a solution soon.

Thanks

Have u checked what keyboard layout is selected?

Go to:

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Languages (TAB) > Details (Button)

Hope this helps!

I wouldn't have posted here if it was that easy but thanks anyway

My langage setting has not change, only the 1 2 3 4 5 and 0 keys dont work anymore with alt car, while all other keys are working just as described in detail in the 1st post.

Lol! No idea of what may be causing the problem! Sorry

Replace your keyboard with a known good one.

A key which, let's say, works fine with and without the SHIFT key

is no proof that a problem with that key in combination

with the ALT/ALT GR is NOT hardware related - even if

the ALT/ALT GR key works fine in combination with other keys.

BTW: Which operating system are you using?

Which type of keyboard (serial, PS/2, USB) are you using?

PS/2 with XPproSP2. I'll try with the usb one from my roomate's computer and post back.
