helen Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hello everybody. I hope that I have put this into the right category.Recently I upgraded to windows xp. I formatted the hard drive and did a fresh installation. I set the regional options to English ( UK ) and the location to the UK.Now when I do a asterisk it comes out at ( " ) and the inverted commas come out as ( @ ). Also the pound sign comes out at ( # ).I have looked through the settings in control panel but without much luck.Thank you. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
