Default AZERTY becomes QWERTY

Hi,

I live in Belgium where keyboards use the AZERTY-layout, rather than the "rest-of-the-world" standard of QWERTY. I usually have no problem typing as the keys correspond to the AZERTY layout. However, after a while (usually 2 hours or so) GW decides that the time has come to change keyboard-layouts. Thus: A become Q, Z becomes W etc. This is somewhat annoying as I suddenly have to change my typing.

Is this a problem noticed by more people?
Why does the layout change after a while?
Can I do something about it?

My apologies if this question has already been posed and answered, a quick search did not reveal anything.

that's because the keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout is ctrl-shift-space, which as you might notice, is the same keyboard shortcut to call a target in GW. what you want to do is to either change the windows shortcut to something else, disable the keyboard shortcut, or remove the standard US keyboard setting entirely.

Wow! Thanks guys, this issue has been bugging me for quite a while now. I appreciate your help and solved the problem. The suggestion to simply delete alternative windows-keyboard layouts proved the easiest.
