Keyboard

How do I get my keyboard to type as per key display?
e.g. 'pound' sign comes up as # & " is my 'at' key. @ Comes up as ".
This is probably simple stuff to you Techies, and I've hunted all over my computer.
Unfortunately, most of 'Frans' techie threads/pages don't want to load up anymore, although to be fair, there is a warning on the thread. I tried "Keyboard set to US not UK" page without success.
Thanks in advance for any help.

    To Change Keyboard Language Settings Do This.
    Click on Start, Control Panel, Date Time and Regional Options,
    Add Other Languages, Language Tab, Details.
    Now click on, Add, Select (English United Kingdom) Click Ok
    If you still see, English United States, Just Click On it Once
    then click on remove, now click OK.
    Now log off then back on for changes to take effect.

    Didn't think my question would raise such animated responses.
    Thanks again.
