I know I'm a bit old fashioned but I'm not that far behind the times
Actually although I do have XP I don't have that language selection utility down by the clock. I have all manner of other things down there (it's bit customised). However, I did go in via my control panel and like I said a couple of posts ago my selected language was still UK English.
I mentioned it to Busman when he came today and he remembered he'd had a similar problem when someone spilt a drink on his keyboard and shortcircuited the thingummies. Realising that the girls had had free reign with the PC while we were at The Stag on Saturday evening I thought a closer examination of the keyboard might be in order and surprise, surprise, there appeared to be a little residue of something on the 2, 3 and ' keys.
I switched off. Had a bit of a poke about and then went to do a couple of things in the kitchen. When I came back later and switched on again all is well apart from the errant emoticon which is still producing a gold star instead of a small PC.
