Hi....My new 2.33 mbp arrived in the post yesterday from ebay...on the keyboard typing a 'z' gives me a 'y' and vice versa, all the other letter keys are fine , but the shift+number combos are all screwed up, and It took 30 minutes to work out the @ sign was alt-g,does anyone know how can I correct this....

I ran monolingual on the os drive and removed the foreign keyboard settings, but wouldnt have thought this would effect my layout...

regards

What country are you from?

If you remove the foreign Keyboard Settings, I think it defaults it US-English. If you are in a country that uses something other than US-English, then your keyboard will not match your input.
