Could anybody please assist?

I seem to have lost the "at" key on the keyboard (to the left of the hash key), in fact some of the key functions seems to have changed.

I have gone into keyboards and English is still selected. The language options seems the same.

Help options seem to suggest if I press left Alt plus shift then I can change options, I have tried this and it makes no difference.

Any thoughts on this totally boring question?

If you are using Windows 2000 or XP there are two settings under Control Panel/Keyboard/Input Locales: Input Language and Keyboard Layout. Check both are set to United Kingdom and not US.

In Keyboard/language options/languages/details/settings, keyboard options is set to English United Kingdom, keyboard layout is set to English.

In Control Panel/keyboard/hardware, it is set to standard 101/102 keyboard, there are no other options.

Correction, I have checked in a Word program and my keyboard seems to be OK, however when I am typing onto a website eg EBuyer or this site, the keyboard seems to assume a different configeration, the at symbol becomes ", the hash becomes \ etc.

Is this a problem with me or my ISP, or elsewhere?

Two more:

In Internet Explorer, View/Encoding and set to Auto-Select (will be ticked), and Tools/Internet Options/General tab/Languages and Remove anything that is not English(United Kingdom).

Thanks Kayak, Auto select was not ticked, hope this will do the trick.

Edit, Yes it now works

Thanks, Stephen

I have a laptop and have just bought a monitor (wanted a larger screen to look at). Can I have different websites open on the laptop and monitor?

Thanks.

It depends on the laptop, you need to look at the instruction manual. Most of the time the video port is just a copy of the main screen, but sometimes it can be an extended desktop (dual monitor).

Thanks. I'll check the manual.

Serpico, try connecting your external monitor anyway, boot up your laptop then right click on your desktop, select active desktop, update now, settings, from there it should be self explanatory as to what options are available.

I Need Help with CMC Market maker 5.Trying to install it on a new machine. It installs ok.When I click on the item i get the Downloading AppStart for a few moments then it goes off. Any ideas?

Iain, How long did you wait? It sometimes takes ages to load new additions to the s/w, esp on dialup like me.

Other than that only cmc can help. MM5 is a mystery to us all.

Im on Broadband.Ill leave it overnight and see then:-0

Iain

I had exactly the same problem the other day. You need to download the latest version of MM5 then it should work.

Leaving it overnight does not work.

Iain, are you using a firewall? If so, you need to open port 1057 outward.

How do i do that Kayak.
Optimist do you have the Address for the download.
Cheers,Iain

Iain

Sorry my browser has not remembered it. Your best bet is to phone CMC Support (020 7170 8205). I think they are still open at this time.

ta.after corrie:-)

Uhm, well, it depends what firewall you have...
