I let DD3 play CBeebies games on my laptop earlier.

Now my " key has switched with my @ key and my pound sign has disappeared and been replaced by #. Yet my hash key is now \ and shift hash is |.

Help!!!!

She's changed it to a US keyboard

You need to go to Control Panel - Regional and Language - Keyboard and Langauges and change it back to UK

It sounds like your keyboard has been set to US English rather than UK English.

If you're using Windows XP, is there an icon in the system tray (the bit next to the clock on the bottom right) that says EN? Try clicking on that and picking UK English or similar.

If not or you've got Vista, post again and I'll dig out the right instructions.

I've sorted it out - thank you!

I managed to reset it in Control Panel. Part of it was set to UK but in Advanced it was US.

How on earth she did that I have no idea!

Thanks
