Exceot when I press the Alt Gr key, the above is what happened

Personally I'd say that we need to know what Windows thinks it's set to.

If you have seen the prior post, I've made it simpler.

Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys (the two bottom left are easiest) the whilst holding them down press the Esc key.

Task manager will run. Click on the file menu (top left) and select Run new task.

In the dialog to the right of the Open: type powershell_ise
Just below check the check box which says Create this task with administrative privileges

Click on OK.

When the blue box box opens, type the following

Get-Culture; Get-WinSystemLocale; Get-WinHomeLocation; Get-WinUserLanguageList

and press enter.

It is case sensitive but you can also copy and paste it from this window if needed...

You will get a lot of white text. Click on the Edit menu above. Near the bottom click on Select all. Press Ctrl and C keys together.

Now you have the text copied you can simply press Ctrl-V in a VV posting box or right click and select past from the little menu.

With this information we'll know exactly what Windows is set to.

Mine looks like this. Yours will be different.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Culture; Get-WinSystemLocale; Get-WinHomeLocation; Get-WinUserLanguageList

Suff, thank you so much.

However, being a complete thicko and not knowing much of what you're saying, I'll have to write it all out and then try.

If it goes wrong, come over and help.

Better yet, you and Wm come over and sort it all.

But I will try, over the next couple of weeks/months or whenever,

I do remember, years ago, having to sort something out on the desk-top, which a guy in France helped me with.

And then, I could, of course, take it down to Carlos in Ourique and get him to sort it

Alternatively one of us could connect via TeamViewer and do it remotely for you.

Personally I'm nose to the grindstone in the house, Mrs S is not happy about my progress on the DIY stuff you know.... Otherwise a short stay there would be lovely.

Whenever Suff xx

You keep Mrs S happy
