Your keyboard language is set to US...

Go to control panel - Regional and language settings - Change all the language settings to United kingdom.....there is a setting on the advanced tab to.

never has someone been so happy to do something so simple

far from trying to promote myself to some computer wizard,but i couldn't find any advanced settings so clicked on the keyboard setting and changed that and all seems as it should be (mind you, haven't pressed any other buttons yet )

many thanks on helping the techinally afflicted
