Keyboard set-up

I've just bought a new laptop and had to set it up more or less from scratch.

During the intital switch-on, the system asked me to chose a keyboard from a list about a 100 pages long!

It suggested that I should use the option 'US' so I scrolled down, past UK', 'US international' and clicked on 'US' , working on the principle that it knew what it needed.

Now I'm using it, I've found that 'US' was not the correct option, various key functions are swapped over and some are just missing.

So, any ideas how I can change the keyboard settings? I've found a window which allows me to change the drivers, by going back to Microsoft I assume, but I don't know if this is the solution. Its an Advent laptop with Windows XP Home.

Thanks
