| | Re: Bad keyboard characters I have reset the keyboard language, done everything- and still the E replaces the ? sometimes. The CURE: exit Windows Mail, and re-open it. The problem goes away until the next time. It happened again today- close the program, reopen it- and the ?????? are back!

| | Re: Bad keyboard characters I've had the same problem. I found a replacement for the ?? under shift 6 but I lost completely the @ symbol so started to worry. Keyboard language didn't help. Hopefully problem continues going away after re-boot. Val "Don" wrote: Quote: > I have reset the keyboard language, done everything- and still the E replaces > the ? sometimes.
