Character Confusion

For some reason, in some way, I've managed to refuddle my zMUD so that certain characters are switched, to my annoyance. I've done this a few times before, and I'm pretty sure I sorted it out the other times. While I believe that closing zMUD does it, I'm pretty sure there's another way to do it, but I can't think of it at the moment. mad.gif

Anyway, what's happened is that Shift-2 is now pulling up @ in the command line instead of ", with Shift-' doing the opposite(" instead of @). Also, Shift-3 is bringing up # instead of £, but just '#' brings up \\, which, when pressed, brings up itself. Sounds confusing?

It is! mad.gif Any ideas?

Stop using Zmud, that's what I did.

Sounds like a North American keyboard layout rather than a British one. I don't know how zMud might be messing it up, but you can check your system settings by going Start->Control Panel->Regional and Language Options->Languages->Text services and input languages Details and messing with the input languages on there. You should have Engligh (United Kingdom) selected as the default.
