Prob with keyboard

[kilmeedy]

When I hit the @ key I get " instead, and vice versa. These are the only two keys I'm having a prob with. How can I rectify this ?

you have the wrong keyboard map loaded

what OS are you running???

First thing I'd check is your keyboard layout. Make sure it's set to US. I believe the UK layout has the quotes above the number 2. Scarecrow

 

[legend2b4]

you are quite right Skark166 it sounds like Killmeedy is using the UK map

I'm using the Windows XP home edition. Is it in the Control Panel that I make the necessary adjustments ?

Merry Christmas:
This is how you go about it:
To add another keyboard layout or Input Method Editor (IME)
Open Regional and Language Options in Control Panel.
On the Languages tab, under Text services and input languages, click Details.
Under Installed services, click Add.
In the Input language list, click the language for the keyboard layout or Input Method Editor (IME) you want to add.
Select the Keyboard layout/IME check box, if multiple options are available, and then click a service in the list.
If Keyboard Layout/IME is the only type of text service available, click an option in that list.

Notes

To open Regional and Language Options, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional and Language Options.
There may be only one keyboard layout for some languages.
To add an IME, you must have installed it on your computer first.
