No POUND sign
Hey I am new to this forum, I have an Inspirion 1000 and I cannot get my pound sign to work....my keyboard is all messed up; the @ is number 2, while the " in where the @ should be...confusing I know...anyways can anyone possibly give me any solutions??? It's really bugging me now and I am constantly on my laptop for my work (writer)
Any help is very appreciated!
I have just had the same problem and it turned out keyboard setting was in English US version, but I use English UK.
go to start button>
control panel>
date time language regional options>
regional and language options>
language tab> details
check that english US is not selected if it is that is the problem and will need deselcting and select
english UK
hope you get sorted

Well it seems your keyboard layout has gone bad. When did this happen? Is there any errors or warning in device manager?
