If you are using a British PC keyboard with your Mac you will have undoubtedly found the key layout incorrect, as Macs use an American layout for their British keyboards. Help is at hand!

Download the British Keyboard layout from:

http://www.netsight.co.uk/misc/British-Windows.rsrc.sit

Simply unpack the file using stuffit expander and then place in the following directory on your system:

/Library/Keyboard Layouts

Visit system preferences and you can then change your keyboard layout to British-Windows. Enjoy! :)
