well i don't know how to do that, but when i am typing a spanish paper i go to a translation site and get all of the letters w/ accents over them and just copy and paste the invididual letter whenever i am tying it...

it probably takes a longer time, but it still works...

You can re-map your keyboard by going into Control Panel - Mouse and Keyboard.



Play around with the settings a bit. Nobody said you can't have your alt key anywhere else on the keyboard. :)

Mehehehehehe, I so wanna change the layout of my fathers keyboard now.



*Sigh* Its okay.... I'm not THAT mean. Maybe it will come in handy for April fools though. Mehehehehe.



Helen, that was a handy suggestion, thanks. Its good to know how to fix things, especially with my computer and keyboard - as its forever going wrong.



Take care,



Lena.
