Your keyboard is a different language to your keyboard setup. Go to Control Panel, Regional and Language, Language tab, Details button, Settings, change the keyboard to US English if you are in USA or United Kingdom if in UK. You will need your Windows Installation Disk ready so that it can Windows can copy the replacement files.

Either a key is stuck down or you have the wrong country set for your keyboard.
US and UK keyboards have slightly different layoutsforsomesymbols, the @ symbol for one.
START > Settings > Control Panel > Regional and language options

Have you got the language settings correct. i.e if set to US different symbols will come up from them shown on keyboard.
