I hit something by mistake and can't change it back. My question mark key when used on mIRC comes up as an É. Any ideas on how to fix it? It only comes up like that on mIRC. Thanks for any help.

Turns out my shift + anything is screwed up. # is / on mIRC.

It looks like you have hit a key combination to switch your keyboard from English (the normal default) to French.

Regretfully I don't have a dual-language keyboard any longer, so I can't do any checking to try to figure out what key combination you hit to get you that.

Holding Alt+Shft should work... but you may find the related settings at:
start > control pannel > regional and language options > tab "language" > details (keyboard stuff)

Like I said, it's only effecting my mIRC, not the rest of my settings. I've held alt+shift. Not working.

In mIRC...

Shift+2 = " (instead of @)
Shift+3 = / (instead of #)
Shift+6 = ? (instead of ^)
Shift+/ = É (instead of ?)

The rest are correct but the majority of the punctuation symbols and junk are not doing the proper thing.

Odd question... did you restart mirc since? I once *managed* to set mirc to arabic by accident. After a restart of mIRC it was all fine...

Wow. Are you kidding me? I swear when this first happened I restarted mIRC like ten times. And then when you asked if I did, I did it again, and it worked. laugh

Hahaha, thanks a lot man. Cheers.
