Hi, I'm being really thick here but I've had a mental blank. My keyboard has suddenly changed, for instance when I press the @ button I actually get a double quote mark. All letters are fine, it's the punctuation keys that are screwed.
Running Vista and I've looked in the keyboard and regional/language tabs but can't see any wrong settings. Num look etc are all off. I think I've probably pressed the function key by mistake...
Cheers in advance for any suggestions.
