Hi all,
I had to reinstall windows and all the drivers on my machine a couple of weeks back...
Since then some of the keys on my keyboard have gone weird - the symbols dont correspond to the key!
E.g the pound sign (Shift + F3) gives: #
the 'at' key for emails gives: "
etc etc
this is very annoying - can someone help please?!
Thanks!

OK, but does it have English (US) there as well? If so - remove it, or designate English (UK) as default.0

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options and it will open the window shown here. Just follow the pics to change keyboard language.
:cool:
