    I installed Windows 7 on my computer and now I can't do the irish fadas. I used to use Alt Gr and the vowel but it doesn't work with Windows 7. Does anyone know how to do it?

    Does Ctrl + Alt + letter work?

    Since you have it set to English (Ireland) that is very weird. It definitely does work under Windows 7 - I'm using it myself. The only other thing you could try is the character map.

    á is Alt+0225, é is Alt+0233, í is Alt+0237, ó is Alt+0243, ú is Alt+0250.

    Is your keyboard set to Irish ?

    Note, mine is set to US on this PC, as it's a US keyboard, and I can't use AltGr or Ctrl-Alt and the letter to get it. If I switch to Irish, then I can. Does your Euro symbol work?
