    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..
