Please help. My keyboard is mis-typing some symbols.
It shows " instead of the at symbol and shows £ instead of the hash symbol.
I also don't know where to locate the pipe symbol (the vertical bar).
Can someone help me pls

Dude, don't download drivers or install anything. Its a simple case of the keyboard layout/language being changed.
With what you just described, the keyboard layout is on 'United Kingdom' when it should be on United states.

Go to control panel. Select 'Clock, language and region', then select language. It would then show you the current input language. Click on 'options', then on the 'input method' tab click on 'add an input method'. Scroll down the list and choose one of the US QWERTY keyboard layouts. Then remove the former input method and you are good to go.
You are welcome in advance.


BTW, with a name like 'ITgenius', I trust you are into ICT. Cheers.
