This is usually due to having the software set to UK when using a US keyboard or vise versa.
Contol panel, regional settings, keyboard.
BTW, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Denmark also have different keyboards.

hi Crissie, if he presses shift and then the @ what does he get? if he presses shift and " what does he get? if these 2 in particular are the opposite way round then it is a language setting, it is set to English US instead of English UK, it is simple to change it. is this problem solved for you? take care and good luck.

Friend check weather you can print #, $,%, symbols, if you can then your shift key is working proper. if not there might be some problem related to it.
or there will be problem with your key "2"..
Advise you to replace your keyboard.

it will be under shift 2 however if you want to put this back make sure the language bar is on the task bar and change settings to english (amrican) or english (uk) that will sort it
