    Hi

    I bought a new Dell Studio, running Vista, it arrived yesterday. Its nice. You know when you trying to select specific files from a folder you press the Ctrl button on the right of the keyboard and click the right mouse button. Well with this I have to press the Crtl button on the Left side, making it almost impossible. I have checked all the setting Keyboard(set as an Irish/Uk layout), mouse, accessability everything but cannot change the two buttons around.

    Anyone got any ideas??
    Thanks

    Are you holding the right CTRL button and right clicking to select?

    Man I'm all over the place today sorry. Correction.

    I meant when you normally press the Left Ctrl button and the Left Touchpad Button you can select specific files. But now I have to press the Right Ctrl button and the Left Touchpad Button to do this. Like its set for a left handed person.

    Sounds to me like you've a dodgy keyboard lad. Both CTRL buttons should allow you to do what you're describing.
    I'd be ringing customer Support for potential replacement of keyboard.
