I have just purchased a new multimedia keyboard for my Windows XP PC.

The problem is I live in the UK, but the keyboard has @ at key Shift-2, and
" at key Shift- '
The UK setting in Windows has these the opposite way round. If I change the
keyboard settings in XP to US, this makes them right, but I then have the
problem that the £ sign on Shift 3, shows on screen as a #

Is there anyway of sorting this out in XP, by remapping a key, or do I have
to look for another keyboard ?

Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ian
