    I bought a Logitech G15 keyboard a few weeks ago. It worked fine until about a week ago, when the Alt Gr stopped working. I can't type a euro sign as a result. Anyone any ideas what might have caused this and how I can fix it?

    CTRL+ALT+4 will also give you the €uro symbol.

    What keyboard language is yours set to, make sure its set to English Irish or English UK, there could be a issiue if its set to Engish US, to change this go to control panel>Region and language options>Think in xp its the second tab and keyboard settings, make sure english ireland or uk is set as default...

    Try holding down Alt, hit the keys on numeric pad 0128 and let go of Alt.

    My keyboard is actually a US Keyboard, but even when I change it to UK keyboard it still won't work. Also it did work fine with the US keyboard selected initially.

    cheers for that, it worked :D. Still it'd be nice to get the actual correct key working again.

    I uninstalled the logitech gamepanel program. And changed it to UK keyboard. The Alt Gr key is working now, a bit annoying that it's not working with the US keyboard layout. I'm thinking now perhaps it never was and I was simply mistaken. Anyway you were right, thanks for your help. :)
