@ when I type " !!!!!!!

[Guest]

Just installed XP Pro and this is the damndest thing to try and find via
searches!

Basically, when I press shift and 2 I get an

@

instead of

"

and vice versa (when I press shift and ')

bloody hard to explain too! Hope it makes sense. Can anyone advise?

Hi

Control Panel>Regional and Language Options. Make sure that all three tabs
and sub menus are set to the same Language - English (United Kingdom).

Go to Control Panel - Regional and Language Options.. change the keyboard
language for one appropriate to your keyboard layout..

Hi,
See if your Keyboard settings are set to your regional Default language to
do that go to the Control panel and Regional and Language settings and see
what the setting there.
Also on Printer,Fax and other Hardware you will see your Keyboard there is
the driver installed and been detected.
HTH.
Please let us know.
