I've checked in the regional/language settings, and in the G15 control Panel.

A Dutch keyboard doesn't exist anymore for many years. We always use the foreign signs, since we are multilingual.  Chose the US keyboard, not the US international. That should do the trick. (I hope) |

| | Fangus, US-International keyboard setup is what is doing it. I am in XP so not all that I will say might be precise, but I don't think it should be very different: Control Panel -> Regional and Language options -> in input languages click "details" -> Installed services: Add US keyboard layout At this point you will have US-International and US. Delete US-International. It will tell you it cannot do it now, but US will then be the default one and if you delete US-International again it shoudl disappear I hope it was clear enough |

Thanks, but this problem wasn't available from the start, and doesnt happen when I switch Keyboard layouts, do you know of anyway to switch it off, as it's annoying.
