Have recently reinstalled windows and the keyboard is not as it should be.
shift+2 brings up the " stroke
shift+# brings up the pound (UK) sign
/ key brings up the hash stroke

I have come across this once before but cannot recall how to fix this. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you
 
Looks like and input language issue.

What version of Windows are you using as the way to fix it might change a little depending on it.

For starters look in Language Options in Control Panel

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
Many thanks for this help. We went to Ctrl Panel, Languages, details, languages changed it to USA101. Correct now. Brilliant.
