Keybord setting are wrong even though they seem to be set at english in the control panel in regional and languge options unless I'm looking in the wrong place.

Probs are @ sign isnt working but have to press shift 2 to get it, and all the numbers on the right hand side of keyboard dont work at all. Any ideas on how to put it right? its win xp
Thanx

    You have to set the keyboard to English UK. You have it set to US. One of the most common questions on the techie board (although I admit it hasn't come up in a bit). ;)

    In your haste, you neglected to do so. ;)

    OP ignored me anyway. :(
