Please can you help? My laptop has been converted to Windows XP and the keyboard apparently has been 'Americanised'. I have found most symbols but for the life of me cannot find my pound sign!

Hold on there was a thread 2 days ago about this...

here you go. This should solve your problem

Devaluation of the currency is called.

Multiply your pounds by 2 and you will be typing the correct amount in American Dollars.

Alternatively... let me check, I'll be back with the correct answer...

Go to Control Panel/ Regional and Language/..

and select "English [United Kingdom]"
