How to change keyboard into English(UK) setting in XP?

chakotha · 2003-03-21 20:05:48

I have a PC running XP. When I type " I get @ and vice versa. Aaaah! I think XP thinks I am using a USA keyboard. Any idea how to change to UK? It's simply in Settings>Control Panel>Keyboard in Win98 but I can't find how to do it in XP. Many thanks for help!

BTW you can set it to English (Ireland) if you feel that little bit patriotic

(Edit: Plus then it sets it up for Euro use. Knew there was another reason for choosing it!)
