I am using a Gateway keyboard from an old computer with my new one but for some reason typing "shift 2" creates quotation marks and not the "at" symbol likes its supposed to. It's not a big problem though cause thee quotation marks key creates the "at" symbol.

Just curious on how to reverse it, possibly a driver problem?

thanks

Keyboards are really inexpensive, unless you get a fancy one. I'd dump the gateway and buy a new keyboard.

Hi,

This is usually down to the language settings in Windows. If you go to Control Panel > Regional & Language Options > Languages > Details, then you can select the language for your keyboard.
