My keyboard is all wrong.?

Question

The @ sign is where the " is and vice versa. I don't know where the pound sign is. I have tried control panel/languages/keyboard but it makes no difference, unless I am doing something wrong. Can someone tell me...step by step how to get the standard English keyboard back please?

Answer 1

that happened with my computer, it went to an american keyboard because that's the way you set it up i'm not sure how to get it back. i think you'll just have to live with it, the pound sign should still work (hold shift and press 3) well good luck, i hope you figure it out, maybe ask a person who is good with computers.

Answer 2

All you need to do is change the default language from English US to English UK. The instructions below are for Windows XP - Windows Vista users click on the link in sources belo for more help.

I had the same problem with my keyboard. Click on Start, click on Control Panel. Click on Regional and Language Options - there you will find a drop down box - click on it and choose English (United Kingdom).

Should be fine now.

(see source for more details if you are still having problems).
