How do I choose aFrench keyboard whilst having English as the default language in windows 7 starter. Please someone tell me whilst there is a vestige of sanity remaining

Are you trying this .. ?
Control Panel
Under "Clock, Language, and Region," click "Change keyboards or other input methods"
Click "Change keyboards"
Click Add
Scroll down to the language you want to add, click + next to it, then select the layout French (Standard)
Click OK in each dialog window.
To use the layout, click the language input button on the taskbar (it probably says EN) and select it.

Hi Albags, Thanks for your help, when I change the language on the toolbar from french to english the key board changes too, they seem to be inextricably linked. Just one of those annoying little windows things I guess.
