When you press @ on your keyboard, does it type " ? If it does, it is because your computer is set to use an American keyboard instead of a British keyborad.
If this is the case, pressing 'Shift and 2' will type '@' on an American keyboard, but you can also set the computer to use an English keyboard if you want to. The following steps will show you how to set an English keyboard on a computer using Windows XP:
1. Click the 'Start' button and hover over 'Settings'
2. Click on 'Control Panel'
3. Double-click on 'Regional and Language Options'
4. Click on the 'Languages' tab at the top of the box that just popped-up
5. Click on 'Details'
6. There is a drop-down window below where it says 'Default input language'. Click on this and select 'English (United Kingdom) - United Kingdom'
7. If there isn't an option that says 'English (United Kingdom) - United Kingdom', you should click on 'Add'
8. Select 'English (United Kingdom)' in the top drop-down window
9. Select 'United Kingdom' in the bottom drop-down window
10. Click 'OK'
11. Do step 6
12. Press 'OK' on any open windows/boxes
Your computer should now expect your keyboard to be layed out in the usual English way.
If you have Microsoft Word, close any open versions of it and then start Word again. Try typing @ to check that the above steps worked.

Will it type the number 2 as well? It's possible the key is broken or stuck, if it's the only one that won't perform. Pop it out and then snap it back in and see if that helps.
My old keyboard wouldn't give out the letter "n" because the key broke. Amazing how many times you use that letter!

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/a6JKm
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Just go to Control Panel>Regional Settings & change your keyboard layout to English UK (It's probably set to USA at the moment).
Why can't you other guys just say that? It's simple enough!

Try shift and '2' key. (inverted commas) This: "
Can't remember why. Something about US/UK keyboards or pirated software?

It could be because there's some food/drink inbetween the keys?
