Do you have a little icon in the bottom RHS of your screen that says FR or EN?  If you do you can click on that to toggle between the two input languages.

If you can't find it then you need to go to your control panel and find the regional/language options and change it there, if that's what you're asking (it's kind of hard to tell [:$]).

EDIT:  If you haven't changed the default shortcuts for toggling between the two keyboard settings, then the LHS ALT key held down at the same time as the Shift key should do the trick.

Why do you want it to be qwerty?  When in France JR......................you know the rest. [:)]

I chose the 'not normal' keyboard at work and it was surprising how quickly it took to get used to.

this not-normal one?

Ooops, that must be why the clients have complained

" Why do you want it to be qwerty? " Because despite only reaching 75 wpm with hunt and peck it is a lot quicker than I can acheive with AZERY or any other layout of Klavier and my fingers do not have to think which language I am  typing.

It is an Azerty keyboard Katie or at least it was until I cocked something up and it became dyslexic, I wanted to change it back to AZERTY from QWERTY but my title was misleading, I do have an excuse though, i was more worried about how to write AZERTY when it was coming out QWERTY, as for the punctuation marks etc, well you saw the result.

I agree wholeheartedly, when in France etc and would not now want a UK type keyboard again.

[Just Katie]

Yes JR I have the same problem now each time I use a qwerty.  Wish I had the same problem with my French language skills.............or lack of!!

[Jonzjob]

JR you have just given me the best laugh I have had in ages [6][6]!

But I can sympathise with you because I was helping our neighbour, French, with her PC this morning and I warn't arf gettin confusticated with that stupid azerty set up. Who on this earth would put the top numeric keys as uppercase????????

The French, I truely love them [kiss][kiss]!!

We got a usb numeric pad to avoid that nightmarish top numeric keyset. Trouble is you have to keep pressing numlock on when you want to use it and it also switches the numbers on the letters too, so you have to remember to turn numlock off again if you want to go back to letters. Very tricky if you're typing numbers and letters. How do the French cope with it all?
