I have recently had a problem with my laptop which resulted in a clean install of Windows XP. So, I am currently rebuilding all of the settings and software on my laptop from scratch.

For some reason the @ and " symbols are reversed according to what is printed on the keyboard. I assumed this was due to a regional setting, but I have checked in Control Panel and it is all set to UK.

Anyone know what is causing this problem?

Some laptops brand have CUSTOM made keyboard drivers.

If you cannot find the driver on the manufacturer site, you can re-map the keyboard via the Registry.

I cannot say HOW MUCH this will help you, but here are some GOOD links:
