make sure its all UK setting and reboot your pc to have effect if needed.

Have you just bought a Mac? ;p

Your PC thinks it is using a US keyboard, instead of a UK one.

How you fix/change that depends what system you're running... but if you pretty much know what you're doing that should be enough information for you to poke about and find it/change it.

Copied "ok you have your keyboard set to american. this is how you salve the issue: go to control panel -> regional and language options -> click on the languages tab at the top -> then click details button in text services and input languages -> click the blue arrow pointing down beside English (United States) - US -> then click on English (United Kingdom) - UK -> click Apply ->then click OK -> then click OK in regional and language options window. now try typing stuff you should be working now"

nope still no luck as i have tried as 1984 suggested , is there anything else in the regions and languages>languagages tab that i need to have or must not have?

then when i press "Details" in the LAnguages tab it comes up with
"Settings" and the default input language is

English(UK)-US

and thebox below is "Installed Services"
shows
English(united Kingdom)
keyboard
.US
are these the correct combination to have?
thanks once again

No.

You need a UK keyboard and that says it is set to US (which we already knew as the " and @ are switched).

No, your keyboard needs to be UK.
