M1330 UK users please help!

I'm having a problem with switching input language on Vista

my M1330 keyboard layout is UK so the @ key is next to ; semicolon

if I add another input language to the system by -> Control Panel -> Regional Setting -> Change Keyboard -> Add

then I change the input switching key to Grave Accent

The problem is when I press @ key on the keyboard while the English UK is selected the language will change to another but if I press it again nothing happen, so I can't use @ key unless I change the switching input language key to something else.

Is this a Vista bug?
Can anyone help me?

 

Can't really help I'm afraid but it seems there are quite a few little niggles with Vista. For instance, my clock is set for day light savings but it's still showing BST despite being correctly set for London locale. Don't know wha's going on there. Haven't chased it up yet but I suspect I'll be needing a complete reinstallation at some point.

My problem and yours may have something to do with the Regional and International Settings in the Control Panel. I'd check yours out if I were you if you haven't already.

Cheers,

jah

 

I've tried to install Vista 6 times but no luck, when I change to xp, there is no such problem so I can say this is not a hardware problem it should be vista itself.


Can I ask you guys who using UK keyboard to add one more addional input language and change the switching key to Grave Accent and try the @ key if it does the same thing?

Thank you

 

Make sure that when you add your second input language, you define it to use the same (United Kingdom) keyboard layout. Otherwise, the position of the "grave accent" key will probably change.

 

How to define the keyboard layout?
