Does anyone know why my keyboard types @ instead of "

Only happens in Excel, is there a setting hidden away somewhere?
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Does it happen if you start Excel in Safe mode (hold down Ctrl key while starting normally)?

Check in Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, Keyboard tab. If a US keyboard is listed, remove it.

- rorya: If I restart Excel, the keyboard reverts back to typing correctly, however, randomly it seems to change.

- VoG: The setting are set to United Kingdom, and this issue only affects me while I'm in excel. I do have a US keyboard listed. Do I need to remove this from the list? If so how?

Just realised, I only have a language tab and regional options tab, no keyboard tab. I'm running XP.
