Issues with '@' button on keyboard

[Vinny]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Hi i have a quick query.

I am from the United Kingdom and the '@' button on our keyboards are used by
pressing (SHIFT + ')
However for some bizare reason this doesnt work on my keyboard and instead
to type in '@' i need to press (SHIFT + ")

I think a setting has been altered in my keyboard so that it is working as a
US keyboard, and i have no idea how to fix this.

Can some please help.

Thanks

Check your input method & language under the Control Panel's
Regional and Language Options. It sounds like you're using the wrong
version of English for your location.

So you thought you'd whine here instead of using the Help and Support Centre
to learn how to change the language? We are *NOT* here to wipe your arse -
you can do that yourself!

In Control Panel use Regional and Language options.
