go into the hardware manager.
my computer>> properties>> device manager

delete the keyboard.
reboot the computer.

windows should recognise the keyboard properly after that, since it will have to re-install it after reboot

Thanks, Jaqui but this did not solve the problem. Should have mentioned that I am using a Logitech cordless keyboard and mouse set.

Long shot, but go to Regional and Language settings in Control Panel and check the settings for your keyboard. If you only have a problem with these keys this is probably not the solution.

its the setting for your keyboard, when you install windows it defaults to the american setting, sounds as if yours is the other way round, dont exactly know how to change the keyboard layout setting once windows xp is intalled but someone on here should know

I think you have a British-style keyboard which is being read as a U.S.-style one. This should be fixable by adjustment of regional settings.
