Dell Latitude - Key swap ??

[Pynet]

Hi

I just bought a Dell Latitude laptop and for some reason the @ key and the " are swaped around. On the keyboard it shows the number 2 and above that the @ sign which is normal, but when I press shift 2 it gives me the " sign and vice versa.

Its starting to really bug me, anyone know how I can swap it around?

Anyone?/

Sounds like a weird hardware glitch that you have there! But you can overcome it quite easily with Auto Hotkey - download for free from autohotkey.com - this allows you to swap any keys around, or define any number of keyboard shortcuts. It's a very useful piece of software, I have it running all the time to define shortcuts for the special keys on my kb.

Doesnt give me an option for South Africa.

It shows English (South Africa), then under this it has a "keyboard" and a drop down to select language, when you click it there is no option for S.A, got every other country but not S.A.
The keyboard is currently on US

Venomous is right. You are using a UK keyboard layout somewhere, which is why you are seeing " on top of the 2. Look more carefully for wherever this may be configured. Change it to a US layout, and your problems will disappear.

Wrong keyboard layout.
