Tap shift a few times quickly to bring up sticky keys control panel. See if you can turn them off there...

Easily solved.

The @ and " issue is because you set it to an American keyboard layout. Go to Control Panel and then Keyboard, add the English (United Kingdom) layout and remove the USA one.

The beeping noise is sticky keys (that's the technical term -- you haven't really got sticky keys). Go to Control Panel and Keyboard again, and look for Sticky Keys... Turn them off.

By holding shift you can term them off. That's a short-cut.

I'd be more exact but I don't know what OS you're running.

recently formatted the hard drive and since doing so as soon as I start up windows the keys dont work when typng, they just make a beeping noise.

I found that by holding down the SHIFT key for 10 seconds the keys will begin working:boggle:

also, when typing the @ symbol I need to hold down SHIFT + 2 keys and vice versa for the " symbol :boggle:
