    Hi folks,

    I bought a HP HDX16T-1005EA, in Europe, the keyboard layout seems to be English UK.
    The thing is, I'm Brazilian. So I set up the input language as Brazilian Portuguese with UK keyboard. But isn't working, I mean I can't use the accents. If I put US-International it works, but then the keyboard is a bit messed up, because my @ is just beside the ; an not on the 2.

    Any idea, guys?

    Cheers

    you could use a tool like Microsoft's Keyboard Layout Creator to create a custom layout for the whole keyboard, including è, à, é and whatnot.

    Fixed!!!

    I used the Microsoft's Keyboard Layout Creator as Whizzo said, and I created a UK-Universal keyboard (at least is working perfect in portuguese).
    If anyone wants just ask me I can send the setup (for the layout ready).

    Just click setup.exe and then change the keyboard on the region settings
