Windows Greek keyboard installation
Go to: Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Langage options -> tab Languages -> button Details. You will probably have only English there, so if you do not see Greek, click on Add..., and select Greek from the list.

You should now see GR Greek Greek. There are various layouts available, highlight the line for Greek, and click on Properties, there you can select other Greek keyboard layouts, like Polytonic Greek (applicable only to Windows XP).

Before clicking the OK button, choose which key combination you want for the Switch languages option, I prefer Ctrl+Shift but you can have Left Alt+Shift. So select whichever you want and make sure that the 'Enable indicator in taskbar' option is checked. Also, depending on which language you will be using more often, you can chose to set one of the languages as the default (indicating which keyboard driver should be active when Windows starts up).

How to use the Greek keyboard:

Use Ctrl+Shift or Left Alt+Shift to switch between the English and Greek keyboards or any other installed keyboards. To type an accented vowel, press the ';' (semicolon) key and then the vowel (separately). To use the diaeresis (like umlaut) accent, press ':' (colon - that is, Shift+semicolon) before the vowel.
To use both diaeresis and accent on ι ( ΐ ) and υ (ΰ), press Right Alt+Shift+: before the vowel. To type ';' (the Greek question mark) and ':' (colon / ano-kato teleia) you need to press 'Q' and 'SHIFT-Q' respectively.
The Greek semicolon ('ano teleia') is missing as it was not included by ELOT in the Greek standards! There is a trick however to add it to your keyboard. From Word for Windows go to Insert -> Symbol -> and find the Greek semicolon symbol (8th line 7th character from the left) -> Select Shortcut Key -> In the field Press New Shortcut Key press the keys Ctrl+Shift+colon (the key immediately to the right of the 'L' key) -> Click Assign. This is it. From now on the Greek semicolon will appear on Word when you press Ctrl+Shift+colon.
In some applications, Left Alt+Shift may not switch keyboards. You may be able to manually switch the keyboard by clicking the 'En' or 'Gr' icon in the taskbar or select and use the alternative keyboard shortcut provided which is Ctrl+Shift.
Using the Greek keys
You can use a utility like Microsoft Visual keyboard if you are confused as to which English keys correspond to which Greek letters.
Microsoft Visual keyboard supports typing in more than one language on the same computer by showing you a keyboard for another language on your screen. You might use Visual Keyboard when you change your keyboard layout from one language to another. When you change keyboard layouts, the characters you see as you type might not correspond with your keyboard. Visual Keyboard lets you see the keyboard for the language you've switched to on your screen so that you can either click the keys on your screen or see the correct keys to press to enter text.
