[SOLVED] Trouble with keyboard symbols (apparently not related to language)

Hi.

So Im having a terrible time trying to configure my keyboard. Its got the symbols all screwed up (note how I lack the use of apostrphes (sp?))

I tried changing the language settings to english, spanish.. and I still get the same shift layout for symbols no mater what language I choose. I-m using a spanish keyboard which keys should go something like this...

1 - !
2 - "
3 - #
4 - (dollar sign)
5 - (percentage)
6 - (and symbol)
7 - /
8 - (
9 - )
0 - =

but instead, what I got is this shift layout...

1 - ª
2 - "
3 - /
4 - (
5 - )
6 - ¡
7 - !
8 - ¿
9 - ?
0 - ₧

- is =

_ is %

its all screwed up! what can I do?

This leads me to the Speed set up, and the Hardware set up.

Since the problem isn-t speed, I go to Hardware.

In hardware I have the following data.

Standard Keyboard 101-102 keys or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard

Then on properties I have

Developer: Standard Keyboard
Location: Plugged to the Keyboard port
Device Status: This device works correctly

Problem Solver (which never works) and Properties



I don-t know where I should change the Keyboard settings to US. But if you mean the lower-right corner, it IS on US configuration.


I also tried plugging another Keyboard, and I still get the same problem
