    Sorry I'm a complete noooooob, how can I Get the @ and " swapped, I have tried english UK and english US but I cant get them right, its just annoying me.

    Also how can I backup my book marks in case of re-install,
    Thanks

    What keyboard layout are you using?


    I use Opera as my main browser and it has a synchronise option that Keeps my bookmarks the same on any pc I use.
    There is a Firefox extension that does a similar thing it is called Foxmarks.
    http://www.foxmarks.com/
    You creat a free account and the extension seamlessly backs up your bookmarks after every change. It also now will optionally do your passwords too, but that would be a step too far for me.

    Thanks for your reply, I'll try that.

    The Keyboard I have is with the " above the 2 and the @ above the ', (two keys left from the return key)
    this is the same as my Siemens laptop. So think this is just a normal English Keyboard.

    I know its not the end of the world, but you know what its like when somethings driving you mad,

    Many thanks for your Advice
    Dave

    I had that on my new AAO that I got on Sunday. I had to do a fresh install after my live updates made it not pick up my network and since then it had been fine.

    I think it was because I might have picked English US initially and not UK. Is there are option to alter this now? At work so can't check.

    Thanks, yes that seems to be the problem, although it appears to let you change it by right clicking the keyboard icon, but maybe its just not accepting that.
    I could try a re-install I guess.

    So is the live update a bad idea then?

    Thanks for your help
    Dave
