Hi, many symbols are found using Shift key plus a number. Some symbols are found with the AltCar key (next to the space bar) with a number Another way, is to use the table of caracters ASCII found on Internet: you use the Alt Key with the 3 digits number that matches the caracter you want. I include the link for the table.

Please note that you have to type the 4-digit code on the numeric keypad (do not use the normal number keys) while holding down the Alt key.

Hope this helps.

In the bottom right hand corner of your screen (on the taskbar), you'll see either a symbol of a keyboard (Windows Vista or Windows 7), or two letters together (Windows XP). This symbol represents the language you're currently using for your keyboard. Click on that symbol with your mouse, and select which language you'd like to use (In this case english) to resolve this problem

In Control Panel go to Regional and Language settings and look at your keyboard layout.

Is it in the language you expected?

It sounds like you have another keyboard layout set as your default.
In Control Panel, double click "Regional and Language Options". Click the Languages Tab and then the Details button. Make sure that English-US is selected as the Default Input Language.
If another keyboard layout is listed below and you don't need it there, you can remove it to make sure it doesn't switch itself again.
Note: this is for XP. Vista will be similar, but I don't have a vista machine so I can't tell you exactly what the options will be called.
I hope this helps. Good Luck.

Go to control panel on start menu.You may have to click Classic View. Click Regional and Language options. Click middle tab at the top called Languages. Click the Details button. Click Add and select the English UK option from the drop down list. Apply and Ok.
