Changed to US keyboard? Control panel > regional & language options, change to UK

Nope just tried that, thankyou, it was fine until about a month ago then just dissapeared, so i thought the old keyboard must have given up the ghost, changed the keyboard and it's still the same

it is 100% definately the keyboard locale that is set incorrectly. the fact that you swapped the keyboard for it to be the same just confirms this

Agreed. Go into control panel change the locale and the default language to GB, then delete US.

FANTASTIC!!!!

I have had this problem for over a year and couldn't sort it out - now back to normal.

Good effort!
