    I've noticed the past few days that the euro sign doesn't work when i press Ctrl+alt+4???

    Anyone know whats going on here? I can't locate it anywhere on the keyboard and I really need the symbol back working.

    I reinstalled windows 7 a few days ago...would anything have been disturbed through that?

    Thanks guys.

    Check your regional settings.

    Yeah, check the currency/language settings in the control panel.

    It should be a simple change.

    Silly you're probably on US English. Go back to the Regional and Language panel and go to the Keyboard tab.

    Just out of curiosity, try "Alt Gr" + "4"
    That on my keyboard does the job for me.

    O' right, you got it sorted, good.

    You can delete English US and just leave English Irish
