OT - Hardware (Keyboard) Question

I recently purchased a new Gateway computer that runs Windows 7.

The keyboard that came with the computer appeared to be configured oddly - for example pressing shift and 2 would not produce an at sign (@).

I decided to replace that keyboard with the old Dynex one I was using; however, the wierd configuration seems to persist following the change.

Any suggestions from the IT-savvy as to how I might fix this?

Thanks.

What do you get when you press Shift + 2?

sounds like you need to adjust the regions.

Control Panel -> Change Keyboards/Input Methods -> Change Keyboards.

click on "add" and go to English (US)..i bet it's canadian that you're using

problem solved

I get another silly symbol, as per the keyboard that came with the system.
I will try the language solution to see if that works (fingers crossed).

Yep it was the keyboard language.

Thanks for the suggestions

Ya know I gotta ask:

Are you sure it was your keyboard...........?
