Hello, I've discovered a really annoying problem in Vista and it is bugging the [bleep] out of me, I can only get the @ symbol to display while using an administrators account, if I log into a standard user account the @ symbol displays as " , I cannot get the @ symbol to display in anything: web forms, notebook, Open Office, nothing. Can anyone tell me why this crazy situation exists?

When I try, instead of getting the @ symbol I get double quotes: as in (").

For anyone who may be interested, with a little help from a member on another site, I checked the keyboard language settings, it was set up to toggle between two available settings, English and Israeli, I got rid of the Israeli setting but still no difference regarding the @ symbol, however, now when I press the " I get the @ symbol, which did not happen before so I suppose I can put up with that, but I would still like to know how this comes about??
