Hi,

I'm a Mac person and I've tried finding a solution to this with no luck so far.

On our new work PC running Vista and my girlfriends old Win 98 box, you can do ü and é type characters by typing Shift " u for an umlaut etc.

On my girlfriend's new laptop, it doesn't work and you have to type alt - 0225 (or whatever the correct character code is).

Is there a setting somewhere I can change to make that shortcut happen? Have tried looking at keyboard setting etc and other obvious places but with no luck - and no luck on Google either.

Both the work and home ones are Dell and bought within a month of each other so it confuses me even more :-)

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Niggles
