Is this a laptop? The zone suggests so. Try disconnecting the USB keyboard, then, and see if the problem persists.<br />

I have tried sorting this through the control panel and the regionalsettings.<br />
It has noeffect.<br />
The problem is this.<br />
I am running XP.<br />
The quotes (above numeral 2) and the @ (above the subquote) are interchanged. &nbsp;Thus to get the @ sign I have to depress the double quotes key.<br />
Also the pound sterling sign cannot be invoked. &nbsp;<br />
The U.S. number sign comes up.<br />
There is nothing I can do to fix this.<br />
The problem has been addressed by Experts Exchange experts before but no solution that I can find.<br />
Can anyone help please?

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
