Hi all

I'm sure I've resolved this before.
I have a new XP machine which gives " when the @ key is selected and vice
versa.
I've checked regional settings English UK keyboard is selected.

TIA

Phil

That means nothing if the system language isn't also set to UK English.

Hi,

Then offhand I'd say you have a bad keyboard.

Thanks

Yes the language seems to need setting in 2 locations to take effect.
Once set to English UK - problem solved
