just press shift 3 not shift n 3

Are you using a word processing program? If so, try looking in Options (from the Tools menu) and see if you can set your keyboard to UK English. hope this works.

Sounds as though the keyboard is set fro the american characters, go to keyboard and change language settings.

Your PC doesn't think its got a USA keyboard rather than UK keyboard plugged in?
UK K/board shift+3 = £
US K/board shift+3 =#
Look in settings somewhere, to see how it's configured...
Just done it on my PC, (XP) clicked on Language bar (square with EN in it) in task bar.
clicked on 'English (united kingdom)' I get £££'s
clicked on 'English (united states)' i get ###'s

You keyboard is probably set to the US standard which doesnt have a £ sign on it! (Silly americans)
Set it to the UK keyboard and it will be fine
