I found this, try it.

Changing the Windows Language and Input Language (keyboard).

-You may need your original 'Windows install CD' for the following steps.


Windows XP 2002
1. click 'Start' then 'Control Panel' then 'Regional Settings' icon (trad
layout).
2. under 'Regional Options' tab and under 'Standards and formats' ensure
'English(United Kingdom)' is selected.
3. click on the 'Language' tab.
4. click on the 'Details' button.
5. ensure that the 'English (United Kingdom) - United Kingdom' option is
selected under the 'Default input language'.
If it is not available to be selected:
i) click on the 'Add' button.
ii) drop the list and select 'English(United Kingdom)'
ii) drop the IME and choose 'United Kingdom'.
iv) click OK.

Cheers guys no kicked shins of my daughter now. It was not as obvious as it was simple to fix (Spuggie sits waiting for a clip around the head for being a twally ) so now got it set for easy access if I run into the same problem.
