My new laptop has Vista, and the ALT+0169 still works for creating the © symbol.

It looks like you're using an international keyboard layout, judging from your apostrophes. Try changing that in the Clock, Language, and Region section in the Control Panel.

Are you working on a new computer that had Vista from the start, or did you upgrade to Vista? Is it a laptop with a numbers pad or a desktop?

Hmm.. Mine does the same thing. Alt+1 jumps to the first hyperlink on the web page. Wonder if it's a IE7 thing.

I'm only running XP on my laptop but I do know that to get the © symbol on that I have to press the func key and alt together and then 0169. Hope this helps.

Also, IIRC, you have to use the number pad for entering the '169', not the number keys above 'qwerty'

In future, you guys can lookup symbols simply by running character map. You can even change fonts and see what is available where. You can start this applet by: Start -> Run, Type CharMap and click on. I have used it on all versions of windows starting from 3.x I think.
