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).

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. |
