    Comfort Keyboard 5050 giving the wrong characters


    I have a Comfort Keyboard 5050 that's worked well in the UK for the last 6 months, but it has suddenly started giving the wrong characters.

    If I press the @ key I get ", and vice-versa. Also, the 'pound' key now gives me # and the # key gives me \. I'm assuming I've somehow switch the language setting, but I don't know how to switch it back again.

    Can anyone help?

    :)

    Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5050

    Is there a way to set an on screen display to notify caps lock is on / off on the Wireless Comfort 5050 desktop keyboard? Very frustrating that there is no light on the keyboard!
