I've just loaded XP on to an old PC but now the @ and " symbols are both in the wrong place (swapped places) does anyone know why and what I need to do to correct it?
Thanks, Dave.

So on the keyboard it's like this?
1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2 9 0
Or is it just the symbols above the numbers? Maybe if it's just on the keyboard, the computer might still put an @ symbold when you press *...

Sounds like you loaded the default American settings use control panel to change to UK settings.
Easy done mate, most times I do the same lol

Control Panel, Regional settings, change all 3 options to UK should solve your problems

Did you receive any error messages when you installed XP like "system does not meet minimum requirements or is not compatible"?
You can try a different keyboard.

Change the language setting on your PC. It's set to US instead of UK.
