Get a new keyboard

The keyboard is set up wrongly or the laptop isn't one set up for your country.
If you get " when typing @ try typing SHIFT and 2 for the @ symbol.
You can change keyboard settings in Control Panel.

It sounds like your keymap is off.

Try this:

The @ symbol and the number 2 key share the key.
To select the @ symbol - hold the SHIFT key and then press the number 2 key.
If you are not getting the @ symbol then most likely your keyboard was not or changes from the US keyboard.
If this is the case there would be other wrong symbols on your keyboard.

Sounds like you're setup for England rather than USA in Windows settings, at least the keyboard settings.

Hold-down the ALT GR ("alternate graphic") key, to the right of the space-bar, and press the '2' key, release the ALT GR key, and you should get '@'.

you are using a usa keyboard.
if you want to use the uk keyboard layout change the regional settings, go to languages and there is an option to change the keyboard.
uk keyboard will print " when pressing shift+2

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.

This model keyboard has an internal USB hub and Windows only sees the hub when booting. The solution is to get a generic USB keyboard and boot into Windows. Once Windows has loaded the HID drivers for the sk-8115 keyboard then this Dell keyboard will work from then on.
