    I just installed xp on another HDD within my computer (which is thus now dual boot) and i'm configuring various things but one I don't know how to do is the keyboard...

    It has the " symbol on the 2 key along the top (so you press shift+2 to get "). Meanwhile over at the right near the enter key there is a key which has the @ symbol on it (it's the ' key, so you press shift+' to get @).

    Well in the new install these are somehow switched. Also the british pound symbol (on the 3 key) and the euro symbol (on the 4 key, same key as the $ symbol but got by using the ctrl or alt key in combination with shift) don't work either.

    How do you fix this? thanx.
