Hi,
A friend helped me get over problem 4 months a go and reformatted my hard drive. The problem is now I do not have a pound sign where my pound sign used to be is now the hash# character. I have tried all the keys and still cannot find it. How can i get it back? I am a bit of a computer simpleton!
Cheers
Ken
