That's what I'd expect. In fact you've reminded me I set this up on an
American Windows XP computer a few years ago, so it's odd I'm not
successful with my Windows Vista Business. Maybe I'm doing something
stupid.

It certainly doesn't work like that in Windows XP. In fact you can
assign both US and UK keyboards to the UK input language settings
and switch between them, as well as having alternative input
languages with their keyboard patterns.

Hi Again, Graham, if the Language/Region is set to UK-English
(which is what I want) then regardless of whether the Keyboard is
set to the UK option or any of the US options, hitting the @ key
results in the " and vice versa.
All other keys seem to work as designated.
Guess I'd better get used to it!

Thanks Graham, I'll try as you say again, although I should mention
that was how I had it set before, it WAS actually typing what is on
the keys, but then from time to time it kept re-setting itself to
US-English despite my setting UK-English as the default normal
template. That's in addition to the peculiar appearance of the e
y u i o a and c letters after the ' & " keys.

You can have the Windows regional settings configured to have the
input language as UK English while the keyboard pattern is
configured to match what you have ie US English so that the keys
actually type what is on the key caps.

It seems you have provided the answer! My ThinkPad is of US
origin, but I prefer (& try to use) UK-English. While it allows
me to set UK-English as the normal default, it often resets
(itself I think, though maybe it's something I do!) to
US-English. Anyway, I have just re-set it to UK-English (UK
region & language) and apart from " appearing when I hit the @
key, (& vice versa) everything works "properly" now.

Many thanks for your help,

Thanks Stefan, I've tried that already, in fact have changed
the keyboard layout only to find the problem persists in
different layouts.

When I hit either quotation mark, single (') or double (")
followed by the
letter keys, the following letters are produced in lower
case: 'q 'w é 'r 't ý ú í ó 'p
á 's 'd 'f 'g 'h 'j 'k 'l
'z 'x ç 'v 'b 'n 'm
The q w r t p s d f g h j k l z x v b n m letters are as I
want & expect,
but see how the e y u i o a and c letters have appeared -
not as 'normal'
letters.
Likewise upper case letters.

I know if I hit ' or " followed by a space the 'normal'
letters appear.

What's going on, and can I stop (what is to me) this
'abnormality' happening?
