Does anyone have a Dell Inspiron mini 9?

And if so are you having issues with, amongst other things, finding how to do a poundsign? It appears above the number 3 but will not appear on screen. I also have issues with the @ sign. Anyone?

not much help but we had a pc which did this, we never managed to sort it

Thanks. It's still under warranty, but at the moment I don't have a free 72 hours to 'phone the 'helpline'.....

Your laptop thinks it has an American keyboard.

Is it running Windows Vista?

Start -> Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region -> Change keyboards or other input methods -> Keyboards and languages -> Change keyboards (easy huh?)

Then remove any keyboards that aren't United Kingdom: if you need to add the English Keyboard (United Kingdom) do so.
