Hello,

I have a new laptop that types the wrong characters when the shift key is pressed. A few of them are correct -- exclamation point, for example -- but all the others are wrong. The apostrophe comes up as an ampersand, for example. I have double checked the keyboard setting many times and it is set to US, which is what I want, and number lock etc is not on. Help!

Did you buy this computer in Japan? I suspect it's modified in some way for the local market.

Good Luck
