I can't get the @ symbol by using the @ key - i have to use the " key (number 2 + shift)
Easy fix?

 

Yes easy fix, your regional settings on your PC are set to English US as opposed to English UK

 

It was set to English (united states) which i have sorted, but the keys are still the same

 

Under XP, they are 4 settings (all under Regional Settings)

1. Standards and formats
2. Location
3. Language for Uni-code Programs
4. Text Services and Input Locales

It's the last one that usually sets the Keyboard language layout.

Check all your regional/keyboard settings. One is still set to US.
