Hi,

I am not sure the layout of the keyboard your neighbor is using but I
have to do a "shift" 2 to get the "@" sign.  Always have!  Normal for
US.


Thanks and have a Great Day!

====================================

When a neighbour with a new Dell running Windows XP HE said they
couldn't get an @ on their keyboard but had to do a shifted 2 instead I
thought I could fix that easily.

Into Control Panel/Regional and Language Options to find their option
was English(United States) - we live in the UK, so I swapped that to
English(United Kingdom) and thought all would be well - it wasn't! Still
no @ from the normal key.

I remember fixing similar problems in this way in earlier versions of
Windows. Have I missed something here.

Suggestions welcome!

Regards

Tony
