When I need @ (for an email adress for instance) I have to press " - there is
no information anywhere on how to change this (the 'regional and language'
button on the Control page doesn't hack it).

It sounds as if your language/keyboard settings are wrong. Do you see a
language and/or keyboard indicator in Windows' notification area? If so,
then right-click it and choose Settings.

Here, with Language set to English (US) and Keyboard set to US, I get @ when
I press Shift+2.

The regional Options button does hack it!

Select the keyboard tab from the dialog behind that button; then press
"Change Keyboard" and make sure the only keyboard set up is one that matches
your hardware - I can't advise further as I don't know where in the world
you are, although my guess would be that you have a US keyboard and are
using a definition for a different English (UK, Canadian, Australian?) one.
