Macbook keyboard not working on Windows side of Bootcamp
I have recently reinstalled Windows XP via bootcamp onto my macbook. Unfortunately, not all of the keys on the keyboard are being recognized in Windows.
For example È shows when I try to type quotation marks, question marks, " appears when I type the greater than sign, ' when I type the less than sign...etc.
I have tried to reinstall the Mac drivers in Windows. It did not tell me anything went wrong in installation. But I am getting quite frustrated. I cannot quite afford Office for Mac yet, but I am really thinking that will be the only fix. Is there anything I can doÉ

Be sure you have (1) downloaded and installed the Boot Camp 3.1 update from the Apple download site (it's a windows executable so do it from within windows), and (2) put your Snow Leopard disk into your machine after starting windows - the drivers should automatically install. I would actually do the second one first if you've done neither (all this is assuming you're running Windows in a boot camp partition).
If that doesn't work, I would review the keyboard properties in Windows to make sure the language and keyboard selections are correct.
Cheers

It's your second suggestion that will fix it, SammySlim.
Go to Control Panel > Regional & Language Settings > Keyboard and change to English (US).
