Stupid Question?

I know this sounds silly, but does anyone know how to make the Euro sign on a Dell keyboard?? Works fine on my Thinkpad by pressing Ctrl+Alt+4... I've tried every combination there is on my Dell PC to no avail:confused:

The euro symbol only depends on the FONT and Keyboard DRIVER it has Nothing to do with the keyboard.

If you have NT4 or Win95 (win98?) then download the euro drivers & fonts from microsoft web site

If you have 2K or ME or XP then the euro should be built in - just make sure your keyboard settings are not set to US / US English.

There's a thread here on getting fadas to work on your keyboard, basically once they're working, the € will work too, provided you have Windows 2000/Me/XP. If you have Windows NT 4, you need this page, the Windows 95 version is here. Windows 98 is already supported as far as I can see.
