Hi, I think the keyboard settings have been changed on my computer and dont know how to revert them back. For example, I have to push ALT 64 to get the @ sign, rather than using CTRL and @. Can you help and advise how to revert them back

i suppose you're on a Windows PC...
go to the control panel and open "keyboard": check that the selected one is the one you want to (US ?)

It's probably easiest to buy a new keyboard.
They are very cheap. There are ways of recalibrating the keyboard from the computer but this is hard and depends on your operating system.
Also, to get the @ symbol on a QWERTY keyboard (it's qwerty if the top left 6 letters spell qwerty) you should press Ctrl + '.
