Windows 7 Text input problem

[DannyBrazil]

Hello,

I have a very weird problem.

I live in Brazil and my PC is using WIN 7 PT-BR, meaning that everything in the system is in PT-BR.

Now to my problem - related to numbers:
In English (EN) we use to write numbers like this: 1.00 or 1,000.00 (using the decimal point "." ).
In Portuguese we use it like this: 1,00 or 1.000,00 (using the decimal comma ",").

Now there is a site (in Portuguese, and you can't access it, sorry) that is asking the user to input a number.

In another computer I have I input:
1 and on the screen I see: 1,0000(as it should be)

On MY computer I input 1 and I get 1.000

Now instead of 1,0000 (which mean 1 product) I get 1.000 which is 1000 products.

I tried to change all the options in the control panel..and NOTHING.


Anyone?

Thanks.

It seems like the issue you are facing with numbers formatting in Windows 7 is related to the regional settings for number formats. Here's how you can adjust the decimal and thousand separators in Windows 7 to match the Portuguese format: 1. Changing Decimal and Thousands Separator: - Click on the Start button and select Control Panel. - In the Control Panel, look for and click on Clock, Language, and Region. - Under Region and Language, click on Change date, time, or number formats. - In the Formats tab, click on the Additional settings button. - In the Numbers tab, you can adjust the Decimal symbol and Digit grouping symbol. Change the symbols to "," (comma) for the decimal and "." (period) for the digit grouping symbol. - Click OK to save the settings. - Restart your computer for the changes to take effect. 2. Changing Regional Settings: - Still in the Region and Language settings, ensure that the Format is set to Portuguese (Brazil). - Check the Location tab to make sure the correct location is selected. After making these changes, try entering numbers on the website again to see if the formatting issue is resolved. If the problem persists, you may need to check the website's input format requirements. Additionally, ensure that the browser settings are not overriding the system settings for number formatting. If you continue to experience issues, please provide more details about your browser and any specific settings related to language and region in the browser that might be affecting the number formatting on websites.
