Computer/keyboard problem ??
I have just taken possesion of a new to me computer. For some strange reason the @ key comes up with " and the " key produces the @ symbol. I tried a different keyboard and had the same response ?
Anyone got any ideas ?
Thanks in anticipation

Can you boot up in simple DOS? If so, what happens then? You will need a line
keyb uk,,C : \ WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sys
in Autoexec.bat
PS had to space out the : \ to avoid an accidental smilie!

Problem solved !!
Stumbled upon it by accident. Settings, Keyboard.....found that it was configured for English (US). Should have been set on English (British).
Thanks to all you helpful and knowledegable people out there for your help.
