Changes to keyboard @ and " keys

Hi, I recently had to reinstall vista (too many problems to mention!) but now
it has switched my @ # " | keys when the shift key is pressed.
I only want to return them to what they were before and have tried
installing the english keyboard but that hasn't helped.
Any advice you can give that will stop me tearing out any more hair will be
gratefully received!
Cheers Browning

Go to Regional and Language in Control Panel and select the appropriate
keyboard language. After doing that and rebooting, you can then go back and
remove the keyboard language which is NOT appropriate..
