Just wondering if anyone else has experienced/is experiencing this one:
Windows 7 Pro running on a Lenovo ThinkCentre.
Periodically I see a typo....go back to fix it...and get the same typo....instead of the '#' key being "#", I get "/".
I then realise that my keyboard has arbitrarily and without so much as a by-your-leave, changed language configuration.
A friend said "there is a keyboard icon in the lower right of the desktop and you can change back there", which there is and it is an easy correction.
BUT it seems to me that adding that keyboard icon is not simply a "user-friendly" convenience, it smacks to me of a real band-aid solution to a known-problem that MS has not really fixed.
Or am I just getting too old and crotchety, and it is just a matter of time before I spend my days with my white pants pulled up to my armpits, sitting on a front porch rocker, complaining about the Government and Big Business?
:facepalm:
