Could anyone tell me how to go about either downloading or buying software that will enable me to type the Turkish alphabet on my laptop, as I am unable to do so at present. Many thanks. Lyesil

Check this. If you are in the UK I gave information on where to buy but I don't suggest doing this as it will change the key "i" in your keyboard and many other details. Try the software bod mentioned.

Thankyou erdinc, I have downloaded MSKLC and the Microsoft .NET framework 2.0, but my computer keeps saying that it cannot properly load the English (U.K.) and Turkish keypad. Not sure why, any ideas?
Have also tried to download the software you suggested and cannot open that either! Think I must be doing something wrong!

Bod's program will be easier to install. To install it create a new folder anywhere in your computer (on your desktop for instance) and them extract the zip file to this folder. Close the zip file and go to the new folder you have created. Here you will find a file. Using this file install the keyboard into the control panel.
Now, go to "control panel > Regional and language options > languages > details > add " and add the keyboard layout you have created.
Afterwards remove the existing layout.

Do not have to download anything or throw away money on this.
If you are using Windows 98 or higher you can install multi-language support thru "installaton for Windows 98" tab in "add/remove programs" in the "control panel"
If you are using Windows XP you search for the similar, I do not know where because Win xp has another order, but you shuold find "add/remove programs" somewere, and have your OS system CD at hands, you may need it.
The last thing you may already have guessed is the keyboard settings, you probably know where you find them.
I know this works for Windows 98SE since that is what I am using.
