Start > Setting > Control Panel > Keyboard > Input Locales.

Check that the language and Keyboard Layout are both United Kingdom. If language is but layout isn't, hit properties and change it. Otherwise click "add", set both to UK, and remove the other one.

Hi reddiesel

Your keyboard settings would have been an option when you installed your OS, Follow as Rojo has said or go to Control Panel, Switch to classic view if you haven't already done so, Regional and Language Options, Languages tab, Details... You can setup everything there hun
