HAPPYNUFF Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I am on my 3rd computer, and by the way, this Lenovo would have to be the worst of the worst, as a friend has also found out. However, my present problem is... in trying to type in my e mail address to connect with someone new.. Each of my computers have, over time, broken down in as much I cannot type that strange A letter that goes into your e mail address, you know the one I mean , where you put your e mail name.....John smithA gmail.com........(you see I cant type the actual letter, that is situated in the upper case of the numeral 2 on the keyboard. Twice I have this fixed, but the problem reappears Any suggestions please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayClay Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 You need to change your keyboard layout to US English. If you don't know how to do that the you can probably make the at sign (I think you know that's what it's called...) for the time being by holding shift and pressing the comma/inverted comma key (, ") 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could hold down the Alt key and type 64 on the numeric pad (assuming a desktop keyboard). Other handy Alt codes here https://www.alt-codes.net/ get all those symbols you really need to hide those profanities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time it happens is always a challenge to figure out. I went through this problem a few times in the past and as you say that is the fix each time. Its an example of how useful the forum can be. Solved very quickly. Great response by all of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
