I have this morning needed to restore my laptop to the factory settings, but although it is now back to normal, when I try to type @ I get " instead and think this applies to some of the other characters. Has anyone any idea why this is. Many thanks in advance

    sound like the keyboard is set to US rather than UK - check in control panel under language settings

    Yes, you are right, but although I have fiddled around with it so it shows English United Kingdom the signs are still coming out the same. Should I try rebooting?

    Hi Judy,

    Where the keyboard language is set, it may still show 'US' settings, try removing the 'US' keyboard leaving yourself with just the UK version.
