Dear all,

I am having an irritating little problem with my keyboard in that I can't type the pound sign and get # instead, and I @ and " have switch places. I have tryed reinstalling the keyboard and also ensured that the PC is set to UK settings on both regions and time and date. I don't know what else to try (even bought a new keyboard but it was only #6.99. See that dratted pound sign not there....very awkward considering i'm an accountant.


Please please would appreciate any dumbed down answers.
