    Hi, I just upgraded my acer aspire one from Linux to XP, however I am having some minor issues with the keyboard functionality. For instance I go to press the @ button and " comes up instead and I press the GBP button and # comes up instead, there is no button for GBP because it does not work.
    I know this is a minor issue however it is highly irritating it worked perfectly before I installed XP.
    Also I have installed all the latest XP drivers from acers website and still it will not work correctly.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Regards Sean

    Have you tried changing the region for your computer? Go to Control Panel, Regional and Language Options. Under the Languages tab you can change the keyboard language.

    Not having seen a non-US keyboard (other than Iraqi), it sounds to me like you have English (United States) chosen.

    Let us know if that doesn't do it.
