# key help please
 

hi I cant get the game to reconise my # key making most the special commands impossible to use , I have a laptop with no number pad , I use uk english setting , I have also tried the us keyboard setting to no avail , any help please

Shift+3 doesn't do anything for you?

I have tried all shift combos :(

And just to make sure, you are hitting the Enter key before Shift+3, right?

Otherwise, you'll just be changing hotkey sets.

yep hitting the enter key , it puts a little square in the chatbox

If you aren't in normal chat, then you need to do a /say before you run the command. So, "/say #race 123" should work. If you are set to group, guild, or channel chat as your default chat, all commands will fail as they have to be in /say.

still not going it still puts another symbol [ instead of #

It sound like either the shift key you are using is busted, or the most likely cause, is that your keyboard layout is not the same as the keys on the keyboard. You said you use UK English settings, I am not finding anything that acts like it sets the keyboard under xp. So next question are you using xp?
Does your keyboard look like these by any chance? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboar...UK_and_Ireland

One more thing....

Can you put a # sign in any program? Word, notepad, anything.

its a brand new asus laptop , with a stanard uk layout , the # key works in every program apart from eq when it mkes a [ instead , i have tried every key combo in game to get # in the comand box but to no avail , i have tried changing the windows defaul to us but thats not workin either , oh and im running vista home premium , do you think that could be my problem ?
thanks for the help
