  1. you need a Windows driver for the Mac keyboard. The only one I have found for download is here http://www.trinityworks.co.jp/US/softwar... The driver usually comes on a disk for apple users to install bootcamp.


  2. As lovely as the answers above me are, I don't think it's because the keyboard is different from the rest of the computer. I have a windows vista laptop and it does the same thing from time to time. With my computer I know that it does it because of a certain combination of keys that I've yet to figure out. Try resetting your computer. If it continues to happen, even after you reset it, you probably will have to get a different keyboard. Hope I helped.

  3. The region is currently set on American > control panel > clock language and regions > set everything to english.

  4. i duno i use windows

  5. try the oposite, shift and the  @ '   button

  6. a lot of times, because of compatibility issues, the mac keyboard wont work with PCs. the similar is true vice versa. this is because the mac keyboard is designed for different tasks than a regular PC keyboard. for instance, the mac keyboard has the command key (by the space bar) and etc. i would try working with the keyboard that came with your computer or buying a cheap keyboard.
