My keys appear screwed on my keyboard, it's ever since I reformatted, basically there is no £ sign on the 3 key when I hit it, and the " on the 2 key and the @ near the enter key has been reveresed, anyone know how I can rectify this?

Thanks in advance

I think you can fix this by going to: Control Panel - Regional & Language Options - Languages - Details.

Yes, it sounds as if you have accidentally selected (or been defaulted to) the "US English" keyboard layout.

The Control Panel changes detailed above should solve it

It's ok I have just sussed it :rolleyes::rolleyes:
If I went to control panel & then regional & language settings etc and selected English (United Kingdom) it didn't work, but then the ensuing language bar that appears after you have changed the settings has an "options" menu on it where I can again select English (UK), this seems to work :D !"£$%^&*() rarrrr

Thanks alot anyway guys :ok:
