Keyboard usage

I recently purchased a Microsoft keyboard (optical desktop 700) in Spain, the
keybord is a Spanish variant keyset. However my language is english and my pc
is using XP set ito EnglishUK. The problem is various Shift and AltGR keys
are not in the marked position, most seem to be in the conventional Querty UK
position.

User books and help menus give no answer??

Any ideas how to fix this????
Thanks in advance

This is a .Net programmer's NG. You need to post to a MS.Public.Windows XP
NG. You might even find one for the UK.
