Purchased Inspiron 560 minitower 8/11/11 as a backup for future use.
I took it out of the box recently to set it up for future use. During setup I was installing several programs and one required my email address and username
it kept rejecting my email. Finally I opened note pad and did some test typing. The @ shift 2 is giving me the " quote symbol. I tried 2 more keyboards and it did the same thing??? This is what I get 1st. line w/o shift 2nd w/shift the bottom is supposed to be ~~
1234567890-=qwertyuiop[]# asdfghjkl;'zxcvbnm,./
!"£$%^&*()_+QWERTYUIOP{}~ASDFGHJKL:@ZXCVBNM<>?
`¬!
My question can I go to Dell datasafe and reload the operating system to correct it?

Do you have the keyboard set for the right layout? It sounds like you might have it set for wrong version of English (eg, US vs UK English).

Hi Bob Kirby,
As Ron correctly said, check for the keyboard layout.
Check the Keyboard layout settings, click on the below link to change the keyboard language to English:

Change the keyboard layout to English (United states).
Awaiting your response!

:emotion-21:
It seems odd it wasn't already set to English-US. Did you -perhaps- order this system from Dell in some ex-US country or purchase it from a 3rd party in another country?
