Hi after reinstalling windows i have just noticed The @ symbol has switched to the number "2" key. Is there anyway i could put this wright as it is very frustrating.
Your keyboard is set to US layout, there should have been a section in the setup wizard allowing you to choose the keymap when you installed windows. Check in the control panel for the keyboard setup, or it might be under locales or something similar to set it to UK.
If you haven't already turned it off, there should be a language bar on the taskbar at the bottom. It's a little blue icon I seem to remember, and clicking it should somehow allow you to change the language.
