I've got a problem which is probably really easy to fix, but I can't work out how. When I got my dell machine and was going through the intial start-up, I think I chose the wrong country for the keyboard settings. It has always worked fine, although irritatingly the " and @ symbols are reversed. That is <shift 2> delivers an at sign, while <shift '> delivers the inverted commas.

Any ideas on how this annoyance can be fixed?

Thanks

Hello tmpack.

Start > Control Panel > Switch to Classic View > Regional and Language Options > Languages tab > Details

This link is useful: Keyboard Help (http://www.starr.net/is/type/kbh.html)

Hope that helps. :)

Thanks for that :bigthumb:
My google searches were pointing towards 'free' downloads that enable you to change the keys on your keyboard. I thought it best not to go down that road in case they were similar in nature to the smiley face downloads discussed in your 'how not to get infected' thread.
