    Hi all!

    I’m not sure if this problem's been present since I purchased the laptop (Acer Aspire 1691 around a month ago), but I’ve noticed recently that several of my keys seem to be in the wrong place. For example the inverted commas/quotation key (shift+2) is replaced with a euro key and vice versa across the keyboard. I’m not overly familiar with a notebook keyboard and there’s nothing aside from the basic keyboard functions in control panel to correct it. Any thoughts on getting the configuration back to normal?

    Thanks!

    That's pretty interesting - I haven't had any problems with my Acer keyboard.

    I'd call Acer - see what they say. It might be an issue where it has to be sent in.

    Before you do that though, check your "language" options, make sure it's set to the correct one!

    Thanks ChazMan421, I totally forgot about the language options :eek: lol. For a minute I thought the notebook keyboard needed some sort of driver update because of the different layout or even a fix. Everything is set right now and I can get back to making sense with what I type lol. Thanks
