Compaq Laptop key transposition?
My daughter has a Compaq laptop. the annoying thing about it is the @ symol is shown as a shifted 2 and the " mark as a shifted apostrophe, however they are transposed. To get a " mark I have to type SHIFT+2; an @ sign requires SHIFT+' .
Any way to change it so they appear on the correct keys, it's disconcerting as they currently are?
Do I have to obtain a different keyboard layout file off the net or is it just an OS fix?
Help would be much appreciated.

Try a free program called Key tweak, You can remap your keys to their proper place.

Go to the HP website, and under support type the model# of your Compaq. More than likely there will be an update or this issue and after you install it the keyboard should be mapped properly.
Also, make sure you have the correct language applied, which would be "QWERTY"
If nothing else download a free HID device mapper, then map the keys back to normal

Hi,
I done the same thing on my own when i had to wipe the hard drive, i think that when you chose the keyboard layout options you chose the english american option instead of Uk english, you should be able to change it in control panel and keyboard layout
hope this helps
