How do you access the character map from your keyboard that shows symbols such as cents, etc.?
I used to know this but I seem to have forgotten.
Thanks in advance.

This is called the "Character Map", and it should be an icon in
Start -> All Programs/Program Files -> Accessories
or
Start -> All Programs/Program Files -> Accessories -> System Tools.
You should also be able to access it by clicking "Start", then "Run..." and typing
charmap
in the box, and press [Enter] or click "OK".

Keyboards form part of the user interface and a keyboard problem can be very annoying. Sometimes the keyboard drivers can get corrupted. Some of the problems can be fixed . I have found the details given at http://fixit.in/keyboard.html is more useful.

Go to start, then all programs, accessories, system tools, then character map. There may be another way to do it but I forgot it too.
