    Is your keyboard set to US instead of UK?

    Control panel, regional and language settings, languages, details
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    You need to change the language from US to UK

    Start, Control Panel, Date Time Language and Regional Options, Regional And Language Options, Languages Tab then Details, Default Input Language, Change to UK, and also Click on Add for Installed Services and Change to UK and remove US if you like, then OK all the way out, Log Off PC then back on again for the changes to take effect.
