Question mark not showing in text conversation box

External Since: May 13, 2006 Posts: 2

This is going to sound like a really pathetic and silly question/problem and
it probably is? However, it's also a very annoying one as well as being
pretty mundane. Whenever I am using Windows Live Messeneger 8 and typing in
the text box, all of the keys on my keyboard work perfectly, with one
exception - the question mark (?) key! It works in every other program (Word,
Publisher, Outlook etc) but refuses to work in the Live Messenger 8 text box!
As I said, a rather petty problem I know but I would just like to know why
this might be happening and if there is anything I can do to aleviate this
problem? It was working fine until about 2 or 3 weeks ago and now nothing
happens with the ? key. I have not put any bad programs on my computer or
messed with anything, including the registry, that would possibly have made
this happen, as far as I am aware of anyway? Once again, apologise for such a
pathetic problem but it's just really a case of knowing why and how to stop
it? Many thanks in advance if anyone can assist. Regards, Mike, UK.
