Help - Can't Find @
Just configuring up a new Laptop and - perhaps erroneously - selected a 'US' keyboard and now find that pressing the usual 2 keys to get @ gives me '' instead. Can't now find anywhere in the Control panel that will give me the option to select a UK keyboard - or have I missed something obvious.
It's a Dell Inspiron 630M with Win Xp.
With thanks as usual!
Cheers,
mcdhu

My Inspiron (9100) did it a few weeks ago except it seemed to switch on it's own one morning when I booted it up. The @ and " had switched and i'd lost the '~'.
It also fixed itself a few days later after a restart which was odd. I remember googling and finding something but I didn't bookmark i'm afraid.

mcdhu,
If all the above fails:
You mention "the usual 2 keys". Just in case that is a typo, and you meant the "2" key, on an English keyboard the @ is normally between the semicolon and the Enter keys, and used in conjunction with Shift.
I don't recall seeing a keyboard with the @ anywhere other than there or the 2 key, so it might be a case of trying various combinations of Ctrl, Alt, Shift etc.
