    The keyboard's language is just wrong,

    To change it:
    XP
    Control Panel - > Regional and Language Options -> Languages(TAB) -> Click Details
    Now, click Add. Change the input language to English US. Click OK.
    Now click on the non-us keyboard and click remove.
    Apply and OK.

    Vista
    Control Panel - > Regional and Language Options -> Change Keyboard Language.
    Now, click Add. Change the input language to English US. Click OK.
    Now click on the non-us keyboard and click remove.
    Apply and OK.

    Good luck :)
