Yep it's just set to American settings mate, not 100% with XP yet but i think it's the usual, double click control Panel, double click keyboard, and change the language to english/british, also check the 'regional settings' to see if it's set to british...

HTH,

John.

Or

Start\Settings\Control Room\Regional and Language options\Languages tab\details\Add United Kingdom or set default input language as United Kingdom.

Simple
