you have your keyboard set to US and not english regional and language options in controll panel make sure all is set to english(UK) and not USA
Click regional and language in control panel - click languages - click details - then change from US to UK.
Before you start change to classic view if you`re in category view ( in control panel).
Yes, Harrytabby, I can see what you are getting @! Get it?
A quick way to correct the problem is to hold down alt and shift on the left hand side at the side time
Of if you look at the right hand side of the tray (grey bar along the very bottom), there may be a symbol 'EN'

Right click on this and the options will appear for US or UK English, click on UK

Thank you all.
I have tried every suggestion, particularly makysngc's but, even though I select English UK > OK and restart the computer, it still does not work.
I do not have a 'grey bar symbol' on my keyboard
Thanks again,
Harrytabby
Not a grey bar symbol, the grey bar down the very bottom of the screen (where you minimise stuff to)

Change it to English (the way I described in my previous post) and do not restart your machine
Don`t just change to English in the drop down bar. Click on languages at the top, then details, then click add, then choose English UK from the drop down bar, click on US, then click remove.
I almost always need to do this after a reinstall of windows and it always works.
Thank you, I had the same problem and just sorted it using your advice. It works tabby. I only got the EN after i went through control panel though. Anyway, thanks again.
