Your keyboard is set to US layout. Go to Start->Control Panel->Keyboard->Language Tab. Click Add, and find English (British) in the list. Add that as layout, set it as default, and remove the US layout.

Control Panel -> Keyboard

Have a look in there - And change the keyboard layout to "English".

Its set to american at the moment.

ECHO

i dont have a language choice in there

Try going to ...

Start -> Control Panel -> Regional

... and making sure everything is set to 'UK English' or, preferably, 'British'. As the other guy said, it's probably set to 'US English'.

It would have been nice if you could have at least mentioned what operating system you were using.

I think in future I'm going to answer all questions from people who don't mention their OS as if they were using KDE.

"Stop messing about and reboot into Windows you fingerless pseudo-geek."

You can use that one if you like.

"In that case stop messing about and reboot into KDE you fingerless Gates jockey."

You can use that too. I have unhelpful and bad-tempered replies for every occasion.
