Nope , it came back on during next message !

1st:  How do I shut it off É

2nd: How did I turn it on in the first place É

3rd:  What are they for anyway É

hahaha just noticed I canèt ask the question with a question mark (É) right now

lol

I tried the CNTR key & SHIFT key WHILE tapping the other SHIFT key

always worked but problem kept coming back

 I just tried going into keyboard set up and swiching to US instead of Canada.. I will let you know...

Start windows key, devices, keyboard languages, English US instead of English Canada

Okay I had been switching back and turning off blue keys all the time, seems to be gone now ... permantly !

Thank you !   Look no funny characters anymore, it worked.  Ctrl+right shift, tap a couple of time, viola.:smileyhappy:

This has bugged me from day one. Cannot think why the keyboard is set up to fail this way.

Your remedy works! At last!

Thank you

In windows 8, go to your control panel and click on languages. You want to keep the US Keyboard layout and get rid of the CMS layout. By doing this it won't suddenly switch halfway through.

If you just want to switch back to the straight US keyboard, hit the windows key and the space bar; select the keyboard you want to use.

Is there a master explanation anywhere to enable me to comprehend?

How do I get my monitor out of sleep mode I've tried all that I thought of like unplugging all the cards and hooking them back up and I've also tried the mouse and sleep button on the key board.....Help Please

One easy way I find is to just press left ctrl+ left shift + right shift and then you are done

Cheers and have a great weekend,

Ctrl+Shift
will change your keyboard layouts...
So you can get your / back instead of é
