    Due to corrupt files I reinstalled Windows Xp and all updates.
    A problem with the keyboard has resulted as follows.
    When I press for " I get@
    " " " @ I get "
    similarly pressing for~ gives me |
    to get the tilde ~ I have to press the key above Tab to the left of 1

    I have removed the current keyboard driver in Device Manager and rebooted to let windows load driver. The result of this was-No solution- the keyboard was same as before.
    If anyone is aware of a solution I would be grateful.
    Thanks

    Thanks Steve for reply.
    On checking it was English USA. I changed this to UK, reset the drivers when requested and am glad to say all is now OK.
    You can chalk up another success.
    Again Many Thanks. Much Appreciated.
