It is correct... You need a Englush (UK) keyboard with the keycaps in the
right place.

If you want "@" on your 2 key, then you don't wan't Englush (UK)

I am getting " from my 2 key and " from my ' key.

I am getting " from my 2 key and " from my ' key.

" should come from the 2 key on a UK keyboard

I assume that @ should come from ' on a UK keyboard as well.

I assume that @ should come from ' on a UK keyboard as well.

Thats right - any ideas?

Try removing the keyboard from device manager and rebooting the PC. Windows
will auto-detect the keyboard again and might sort itself out.

No that doesn't work.

I did say 'might' !

Have you tried setting the keyboard to US, to see what it does? That should
do '@' on key 2. If that works, change it back to UK and see if works.

When I boot the PC up without the keyboard attached then attach the
keyboard, there is no message from windows and the keyboard doesn't then
work.

Rebooting with the keyboard attached it words fine.

Sadly still no joy!

I wasn't talking about physically unplugging the keyboard before reboot - I
meant in the Windows Device manager (right click my computer, then choose
manage), find the keyboard in the device manager and "remove device". There
should be no need to physically unplug the keyboard.

On some PCs, a PS/2 keyboard is detected at power on time (POST), so it
won't work when you plug it in later.
