Shift Key Allocations

Guest

I've just re-installed XP and my shift keys are wrong. When I press shift
and 3 I get a #, when I press shift and 2 I get @.

I've changed my regional settings to UK English but it didn't work. Can you
tell me how

Thanks

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.]]
