After I reinstalled Windows 7 on my laptop, I typed an email address
only to discover that the @ and inverted comma keys had somehow been
swapped. That is to say, whenever I pressed Shift+2, an @ symbol
appeared and when I pressed Shift+’, an ” appeared. I racked my brains
as to what might have caused the problem and it occurred to me that
Windows might have defaulted to a US keyboard rather than a UK one.
To change this option, you need to open ‘Clock, Language and Region’
from the Control Panel and click ‘Change keyboards or other input
methods’. Next, click ‘Change keyboards’ and make sure that English
(United Kingdom) is set as your default input language.

If it's not listed, click the Add button alongside ‘Installed services’
and find English (United Kingdom) in the drop-down list. Once you've
done this, your keyboard should work as normal again.
