Your keyboard is specified UK instead of US English. Go to Control Panel
Regional and Language Options and make sure all appropriate entries are set to
English (United States).

Oops. I was assuming WinXP. If you have another OS, go to whatever settings
allow you to make the necessary changes for your location.

---------------------------
Its probably to do with the OS. To explain - did have XP Home - crashed
recently, so installed XP Pro over it. All ok, including keyboard except

the
@ and " switch and # and the uk pound sign has gone awl.
Tried what you suggested - tried with settings in Regional and Language
Options both as English (US) and then as English (UK) makes nil change
however. Any other thoughts..?

-----------------------
Tried again and now sorted. Many thanks.
