    Default Question for you computer nerds

    So I tried googling this but I havent been able to find an answer to my question.

    I have an older Toshiba Satellite laptop that runs Windows 7. It's old but I just cant work my way to get rid of it.

    The question I am posing to the group here is this:

    Why the hell does my laptop automatically switch to the Canadian French keyboard option? I find myself constantly having to switch it out of French keyboard setting and back to US. Now for most of the time I dont even notice that it has switched until I try and use an apostrophe or other characters on the keyboard.

    Does anyone know why it does this and is there something I can do that will stop it from jumping to the Canadian French setting?

    Axe,

    I feel you! I had this problem once. What you want to do it turn the “French” keyboard off so you can’t accidentally switch to it. . This link walks you through it step by step.

    If you hit the left Shift+CTRL at the same time on your keyboard it will switch keyboard languages. Many times when people tell me they don't know how it happened, this is how it happened. By accident.

    What Axe is saying though is every time he turns his computer on it auto - switches back to french. I have the same problem. Even if I just walk away for 10min and it goes into power save mode it'll swap back to french.

    Exactly. I am hoping the fix that Moses gave me will work.
