Since reinstalling Windows XP on my PC, I have found that, on my keyboard, @ and" have swapped places and I can no longer get the pound sterling sign. Anyone know how to remedy this?

People will say you can do it via control panel .> regional languages, but if it happened after re installation then it won't work, only another reinstall or possibly a repair using the recovery disc will help.

You need to go into Control Panel and select Language and Regional Settings. Check which country your keyboard is set to.
