    No - in fact this was what I had it set to originally and when I noticed it wasnt right I tried a few other settings but none of them changed anything so its back now to the original one of irish keyboard as suggested but still no change.

    Presume you using 2000 or XP so you mght not have rights.Restart in admin and change it. Or restart the comp into settings and do it through the BIOS(not sure if you can do it this way)

    EDIT:Microsoft say

    Do you have a "?" icon in the bottom right beside you system tray? Click on that you might have an option to switch between languages.
