Keyboard gone foreign on me

[McNasty]

When I try to type a pound sign (shift 3 key ) I get this #. What keys do I need to press to get the English keyboard back ?

All help greatly appreciated.

I don't see what the problem is... ;)

Did your language settings get changed somehow? Check by going to the Control Panel then click on Regional and Language options and make sure it is set to UK English. If that doesn't help or if you don't use windows, then I have no idea

Nope , settings all English - English. Bugger.

Next ?

Not a total answer but you can use your onboard keyboard which is in accessories.

It may sound stupid, but have you tried typing '#' using the # key, rather than the £ key?

You could also just copy-pase £ if you wanted...

embrace the change...

Control panel > Regional and Language Options and change every setting that
says United States to United Kingdom.

If not, start > right click my computer > properties > device manager > keyboard > configure > English (UK)

Failing that, this will def. work:


> Language tab, Details button, Default input language select English
(United
> Kingdom), click Apply, in Installed devices, Keyboard does it show United
> Kingdom? If yes and it also shows United States click United States and
> click Remove. If not then Add it and remove United States.
