Hello
Control Panel -> Regional Options choose French (France) then apply then click on the Languages tab Details choose French (France) in the second table remove the Belgian keyboard (you have tabs on the left) and add the French keyboard then apply and restart the PC
To get the at symbol -> key AltGr+ (to @ )

Hello Jean Louis 37 and the whole group

I'm not sure this will work, but it's worth a try, just in case your "manips" have "upset" the keyboard.

What happens if you reboot your machine (your PC?)?

If that doesn't help, try a restore to yesterday, supposed to be before your manips.

Good evening and thank you for taking an interest in my problem. Unfortunately, my keyboard is not in French (France) but in French (Belgium), and normally I find the at sign by typing é+alt gr. In French (France), I type à+alt gr, and nothing works, and of course, I have restarted my machine!
What now ??????

Thank you for your help, I applied what you wrote but it doesn't work. When I press Alt Gr and @, the file computer-system(C)-manual opens and I can't get the @ symbol.

Hello everyone, my at symbol key stopped working all of a sudden, as well as the ones related to (alt gr) can someone enlighten me on this, thank you all

Hello... For the missing at sign that appears on the "manual" page, Marc's solution from June WORKS, I also had this annoying problem.  I recap: delete the manual folder from the disk then alt0 you are asked to delete the shortcut, say yes to delete, then it is still possible to restore the "manual" folder by going to the recycle bin. Thank you Marc, your solution works.

I just reinstalled WinXP on my computer and when I pressed (Alt Gr + à), I got a curly brace instead of the at sign. My at sign was appearing with (Alt Gr + é).
I came here and saw that there was a discussion about Belgian French and French from France. So I checked that and switched everything to French from France, but it still didn't work.
And then I noticed a little blue FR at the bottom of the screen next to the clock. That corresponded to the keyboard language and was indeed set to Belgian French. So I right-clicked on the little blue FR, went to settings, deleted Belgian French, and selected French from France, and there you go.

If this can help anyone who has the same problem as I did...

Hello, I also have this problem, the @ symbol has disappeared from the keyboard as well as the three left keys 7, 8, 9. I changed the keyboard, restored the system, nothing works. Does anyone have a solution? I'm on Windows XP please help me, thank you.

Moebius · Answer

In Word and only in Word (I don't know why), to display the at sign: the command Ctrl + Alt + 0 does not work; instead, you have to type AltGr + 0: and it works.

I have had the Livebox since Saturday 01-12-08 and since then I can no longer get the at symbol on my keyboard by pressing Alt Gr + 0, so I can't enter contacts in my messaging. The only solution I've found is to transfer an at symbol to my messaging by copying it to a document file on my PC and doing copy-paste whenever I need the at symbol.
If someone has an easier solution, I am interested. I specify that even when changing the keyboard, the result is the same.

Hello,I have desperately tried all your suggestions in vain. You are very lucky and it is increasingly frustrating for me. When I press altgr+à(0), it opens a window that has nothing to do with the at symbol. Thank you anyway for your help and good luck to everyone in finding out how to make the at symbol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, for those who still haven't figured it out...

Cloclo · Answer

Hi Lolo,

I've finally figured out how to get the at symbol in Word. Now I need to use the Alt Gr + @ key combination. It's worth remembering that to get the at symbol in all other software, like Photoshop, Illustrator, Excel, PowerPoint, etc., as well as in my emails, I need to use the Ctrl + Alt + @ key combination. For some unknown reason, my Vista operating system!!!??? has decided that the at symbol in Word is no longer in the same place as in the others. I found it by trying all possible combinations of key presses at Alt Gr + @.

Good luck

Cloclo

Hello everyone,  I just had this problem where I couldn't type ~#{[|`\^@]} and it turned out that a pin had slipped between the keys of my keyboard and was stuck under my Alt Gr key. So when I pressed it, the key wouldn't go down all the way because the pin was in the way. I hope this helps you.

lalabela · Answer

The technique from Jean Louis 37 worked for me.  Control Panel and Regional Options.  In the Regional Options tab, set to French (France) because I was set to French (Belgium).  Then in the Language tab, remove the Belgian keyboard.

Kako · Answer

you should press ALT+64, it will be easier...

will · Answer

go to system tools, launch the restore to a point before the issue until the end: it works

JY · Answer

I had the same issue; it was due to the fact that the alt+é shortcut was assigned by Nvidia. So remove the Nvidia shortcut and hop @ reappears... See you!

variance n°17 · Answer

Hello, I had the same problem as you, I found a solution but every time you want to put the at sign you have to proceed like this:
in startup go to: ACCESSORIES then SYSTEM TOOL then CHARACTER MAP,
select the box where the at sign is, SELECT, close the box and then paste it with the right-click of the mouse after your address name,
it works but you have to do this operation every time you want to put the at sign.
I hope this will be useful to you

Hello everyone, I have a big problem with my computer. I wanted to use window cleaner because there were fingerprints, but I accidentally used sink cleaner instead ==' and I applied it everywhere on my computer. Unfortunately, it got inside the computer, but a week later it started working again. Unfortunately, when I went on MSN, I would talk, but when I pressed enter, it would go to the next line, and when I pressed the at sign, it didn't work. It still doesn't work, and when I want to type in lowercase, I have to press the shift key, which is really annoying. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Hello, could you help me solve my problem because my at sign on my keyboard doesn’t work anymore. I've already tried everything but nothing works. What can I do? Thank you in advance.

stefan · Answer

Hello. This discussion on the subject has been of no help to me. I have therefore decided to find the solution (quickly) by my own means. The problem simply comes from a deactivation of the settings regarding the language of the keyboard used. To reactivate my settings (French - Canada), I proceeded as follows in Windows 7: 1. click on the Start button; 2. type "keyboard" in the search box; 3. click on "Change keyboards or other input methods" in "Control Panel" to open the "Region and Language" box, under the "Keyboards and Languages" tab; 4. click on "Change keyboards"; 5. under the "General" tab, clear everything in "Default input language" and "Installed services" to have a clearer view; 6. in "Default input language," click on "Add" and choose from the dropdown menu in the "Add a new language" box the options "French (Canada)," then "Keyboard," then "French (Canada)" and click the "OK" button; 7. do not forget to click on "Apply" (very important); 8. in "Installed services," select "French (Canada)," under the line "Keyboard," which is under the line "French (Canada)," then click the "Apply" button once again. I know from experience that it is the same resolution to the problem in Windows XP, even if the access paths may differ.

Hello everyone

I’m reaching out because I also have a Mac (gifted by my husband, someone who only saw Windows)
after my insistence, he installed Windows on the Mac (oh my goodness)
he had to buy me a new keyboard (Mac, of course) with a numeric keypad

we searched everywhere to access the at symbol

and miracle, we found it thanks to the numeric keypad

there's a key above the 7, on this key there's a rectangle with a cross inside, you just had to click on it!!!!!

I don’t know if this will help anyone, but I wanted to share our version

I wish you all a great day

In summary, there are 3 possibilities:

1) hardware issue (if the at sign works when plugging in another keyboard to the same computer): in this case, try restarting the machine after removing the battery if it's a laptop, then USE "CTRL + ALT" instead of ALT GR if the restart doesn't solve anything.

2) software remapping issue: recently installed software has "stolen" the shortcut for the at sign. Uninstall the software, or revert to a backup made before the issue.

3) keyboard language change issue (often from France/Switzerland/Belgium): check the international keyboard settings and make sure that the region matches your keyboard.

It's simple...

Good luck.

missrania · Answer

Hello everyone,I can't make head or tail of it, but none of the suggested solutions solved my problem. So, I had some fun pressing "Alt Gr" with every key one by one, and that unlocked it, and everything returned to normal. I sometimes find computing weird lol...

I have the answer! Not complicated at all! So those who have Skype and Clownfish! Clownfish prevents the Alt Gr key from working, so uninstall it even if Skype is closed, it is still active!
