Cannot delete English-US Keyboard

You have to ADD the British keyboard before you delete the American and then
reboot.

Thanks, but the English UK keyboard is already there and active, what else
can I do?

Do you have to delete it , isn't it part of windows . Unless you want to
specifically to remove it from Windows I would just choose whichever
language I wanted to use and just choose it in Control Panel > " Date , Time
, Language and Regional Options " .

I have an Outlook 2003 problem whereby on some emails a "£" displays as a
"#". On another machine the same emails display fine. All languages are set
to English UK. I am wondering whether it is this US English language entry
that is causing the problem, hence I am trying to delete it.

If Windows is like many operating systems (Mac and so on), the American
English language character set is built directly into the operating system
and therefore cannot be removed. If, after selecting another language, you
still see certain characters displayed improperly, you either have a problem
with system/program settings or the particular font used.

Did you reset the Standard and Format , and the Location settings where
I indicated in my previos post . I assume both need to be set for the English
UK setup .
Or is it you miss the # key and hit the $ for pounds sign , they are next
to each other on the keyboard .
