If you're on Windows then try pressing CTRL+SHIFT keys
together (sometimes ALT+SHIFT, see which combination works for you) until your keyboard layout indicator in your system's notification area (bottom right part of your screen, just left of system clock) shows the keyboard layout code that you're used to, in your case "EN". You can cycle through all the installed keyboard layouts using this same key combination.
I found this on another website and it worked for me. Good luck.
Okay,
I know this is an old question but when i searched for the same problem
recently, it was the nearest I could find. So in case others are having
the same problem:
The Vaio you have is a Canadian model, which
has alternate keyboard drivers for English and French. The alt car key
only works with the French keyboard (durr). To switch, press the LEFT
control key and RIGHT shift key at the same time, then release. Now if
you use the alt car key like the shift key, i.e. hold it down then press
another key, you should be able to access the pink characters. To
return to English keyboard, press left-ctrl and right-shift together
again.
have you checked if the function keys to use secondary chars on ur keyboard is turned off or on??
one thing that sud work is if u try typing the keys u r having problems with,using the onscreen keyboard.it is available at start-->all programs-->accessories-->accessiblity-->onscreen keyboard.hope this helps.
