Weird problem

One of my clients is no longer able to type the
alpha-character "@" on his computer. "ALTGr+2" is not
working! However, it's possible to type £ using AltGr+3 etc
etc... It's isolated to @-character.... ALT+64 is working
fine as well....
Logging on with another profile/user on the same computer
solves the problem tho, so it's related to the user's
profile....

It's on Windows XP.

Anyone encountered this before?

Yes, I had this prroblem until about a month ago when I got
my computerr fixed and it came back with XP Home Edition
instead. I used the shift plus £ forr about a yearr and a
half, I actually wish it was back, I keeping fucking my
e-mail addrress up.

my firefox occasionally goes into english keyboard mode, and
all I can do is reboot, 'cause the keyboard settings won't
change...
