HELP!! Buttons on my keyboard seem to be switched round please help me fix it!

[PestoSandalissimos]

My laptop had to be restarted from scratch this morning and when I tried to input my email address into something the @ symbol has been replaced by the "

So when I press shift to try and get the @ symbol, I get the " which is above the 2 on my keyboard. DD2 realised that they had been tranposed and told me to just use shift and the 2 key each time I want to use @.

However, I just want them switched round back into their proper places.... and I'm not techy at all

Please clever wise mumsnetters help me!!!!

OK Lunatic, I go
start
my computer
then what?

I can't find anything saying keyboard

[PestoSandalissimos]

Right, sorry Lunatic

Have found control panel
and
keyboard

but can't find out how to change the setting (sorry am really useless )

[RustyBear]

Not sure what your computer is running, but try right click on the keyboard icon and Properties

[PestoSandalissimos]

Oh dear

I can't find anything to default it back to UK.

When I've tested it on a Word document, it keeps reverting to US english too, even when I click on English UK. GRRrrrr!!!!

[PestoSandalissimos]

Rusty,

When I go on properties, it suggests a troubleshooting thingy to do.

Should I try that?

[RustyBear]

Do you have a 'regional and language' section in Control Panel? Try that.

[PestoSandalissimos]

Right I've done that Regional & language thing. It was (and is) set to English UK and UK, so that's fine, but the keys are still transposed

[PestoSandalissimos]

Oh dear, I'm stuck now

Update:

I don't know what I've done, but somehow my keys are back to normal once more - yay!!!

Was it to do with me shutting the laptop down completely and starting all over again? I don't know.

But, anyhoo, thank you ladies for your efforts this mornign. I am now a happy Pesto again
