Keyboard problems following re-install of windows

[Guest]

I hope someone can help me.

I had to re-install Windows XP because of a multitude of problems and now I
find that my keyboard layout has went a bit wonky - keys are mixed up, ie my
@ sign is now on my " and vice versa.

My keyboard is set up for English UK, but it doesn't seem to be making much
difference.

Does anyone know how to resolve this please??

Thanks in advance,

Alison

Keyboard Language...

Windows XP defaults to US English.

It sounds like you want English (United Kingdom).

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Regional and Language Options |
Languages tab | Details button | Settings tab |

Or...

Start | Run | Type: intl.cpl | Click OK |
Languages tab | Details button | Settings tab |

Default input language
[[Specifies the default language that you use to insert text. The default
language is used every time you start or log on to your computer.
For example, if you insert text in German most of the time, but have also
added English as an input language, select German as your default language.
When you want to insert text in English, you can switch to that language.
A language must be added under Installed services to be available as a
default.]]

Add button
[[Click to install additional languages and text services. When you start or
log on to your computer, all the languages and text services that you have
added are loaded into memory.]]

Delete button
[[Click to delete the selected language or text service from the list. The
deleted option will no longer be loaded into memory when you start or log on
to your computer.]]

Click Start, click Control Panel, click Date, Time, Language, and
Regional Options, and then click Regional and Language Options.
There check the Keyboard layout in use, under 'Keyboard', for 'English'
in the lower pane, There are several possible layouts, and you are
probably on an inappropriate one.
