    When clicking on scroll bar the arrow turns to egg timer and we have to wait some seconds to be able to scroll up or down, and the keyboard has reverted to American, The @ is on the " key, how do we change this back please. This is a computer we have just re-hashed by formatting drive and re-installing Windows XP

    Hi, I can only suggest > Control Panel > Regional & Language > check your Location (United Kingdom) and > Customize (England-United Kingdom) and see if that helps. Neil.

    How to change your keyboard type

    Have a look through this with reference to XP. Neil.
