Just to update it seems the problem exists with how my wireless is turned on and there is no way round it apart from flashing and upgrading bios , this i won't do just to tinker with Linux so am gonna spend seven quid on a external one linux likes Dave

Hi Poppy I had the same problem. I solved it by downloading Creative Element Power Tools and then running the program (from the directory, as none of my shortcuts were working) "File Type Doctor". When I selected ".lnk" in the extension list it said in the Actions in the Right Click Menu: "(user choice override)" in red ... and "Open" I then removed the "(user choice override)" and that was it. All the shortcuts were working again, just like they used to. Good Luck Dave

Change or add Keyboards Microsoft Windows allows a number of different keyboard languages and layouts. Installation of the "typical", or "default" options provides capabilities for French, Spanish, and other Western European languages. In Win XP, to change the keyboard languages and layout, click Start , then choose Settings, Control Panel, and Regional and Language Options. Click the "Languages" tab, then the "Details" button, the "Settings" tab, and the "Add" button. Now choose an input language from a long list. ( IF the "Input language" is English (United States), the US-International English keyboard can be selected by checking the "Keyboard layout/IME" box and choosing it from the list.) Click the ok button to close the Input window. If the added language is a permanent choice, be sure to click Apply to finish the process (the Windows installation CD is not usually needed). For an illustrated version of these directions click here. The keyboard and multilanguage sections in Start - Help and a Penn State site have more information. For Windows 2000 click this Carnegie Mellon site. Windows Vista: (most Vista info is from this site. As of Jan 2010, it seems that Windows 7 http://www.starr.net/is/type/imgt/new.gif is similar.) - Click Start-->Control Panel-->Clock, Language and Region-->Change Keyboards. - In the new window, click on the Change Keyboards button. This opens a new window called "Text Services and Input Languages". - Click on the Add button. Scroll & check the English (United States) - United States-International keyboard. Click OK. - Finally, in the upper part of the "Text Services and Input Languages" window, open the drop-down menu called Default Input Language and choose English (United States) - United States-International as your default for all input fields. Keyboard layouts for many languages are available. However, they usually do not follow the "QWERTY" layout and some characters, especially punctuation, will not correspond to those printed on your keys. French uses "AZERTY" with letters a/q and z/w interchanged compared to the US keyboard try that Andy to change the keyboard to uk layout dave
