US v UK Keyboard

Flushed with success** at both building a new PC and a dual boot system to boot, as it were.........., I've a problem with the keyboard in the WinXP half of the system. (The other half is Vista - do try to contain your mirth).

Try as I might, I cannot get the keyboard to operate in the UK format.
I've been into Regional and Language settings in the CP, but despite selecting the UK option I still find the '@' symbol sharing the fig '2' key.
It works OK in Vista so I've run out of ideas.
Anyone care to advise how the problem might be resolved, please?

Thanks,

N o t a

A pleasure. It seems to cause a lot of trouble, this keyboard thingy.
