Keyboard-Spl Characters replaced mutually

[jm]

I have some strange problems with my Keyboard Characters since the
reinstallation of Windows XP with sp3 to my PC after the replacing of faulty
mother board of the PC. When I press the shift key for special characters, it
is found that the output of some of the special characters are changed and
mutually transferred and one character is replaced with a new one. For eg. @
is mutually transferred with “ and # is replaced with the new £ .
I checked it with character map and on-screen keyboard. In the on-screen
keyboard the above mentioned special characters are seen changed and the
keyboard is working accordingly. I changed my keyboard with another one and
now I am using a new one. I uninstalled sp3 and checked. I Uninstalled
keyboard driver and reinstalled (manufacturer). The result is the same. So I
again checked with a live Linux CD and found that my keyboard is OK. No
problem in the Linux. My conclusion is that something happened in the
character setting of my Windows XP. I refered a number of threads but I
have't got a satisfactory answer. Can you help me to rectify the defect
without reinstalling Windows XP with sp3.
Thanking you.

Control Panel, "Regional Settings" will let you change the keyboard settings
for that. You probably don't want to use the UK setting.
