Angry Keyboard Layout

Sonehow my keyboard layout has changed to US. I have looked in Regional and Language Options>Languages>Details, etc, but haven't got a UK IME setting.

My setup is English (United Kingdon) - US. How do I change to English (United Kingdom) - UK.

Installing the additional IME's doesn't provide a UK option.

Thanks in advance

I'm in Australia & I'm using US layout. Isn't it the same as using let's say an 'english' layout? I don't have any option for an Aussie layout.

Default No

If all your keys display characters correctly then an Australian keyboard is compatible with a US layout. Trouble is a UK one isn't. However, the only two keys that bother me are the " and @ keys, which are reversed - itas abigger problem/annoyance than it might appear.

Two keys.........how annoying. Couldn't someone have given in & gone with just one layout? Of course were are talking UK, US. Looks like neither wanted to lose their two key setup.
