Hi,
I am in Ireland and have my Regional and Language options set to English
(Ireland)
But cannot get the keyboard to display the hash key, pressing shift and 3
display the pound sign (£), how can I get it to display the hash symbol?, I
purchased the laptop in Canada but am using it in Ireland, it is a Compaq
Presario.
Regards,
Noel Lackey.
