When i try to press the pound sign ie (ctrl + 4), I get '#'.

What should i do?

[OMGWTF]

Switch the key's around

Nah seriously check you've got the right keyboard country layout thing, goto control panel, then keyboard

[elpaw]

change your keyboard layout back to uk english

and press shift and 4 not control and 4

[Sam_B]

isnt it shift and 3? shift and 4 gives you the $ sign.

control panel -> regional and language options -> languages -> details

[Sam_B]

control pannel/regional and language settings. then change regional options to UK. a language bar should appear on the taskbar, in which you can change keyboard settings

Thanks guys.

Mine is even worse. I can't use the CTRL key when I want to save (i.e. CTRL+S is to save in Word). What should I do?

Puh, thats nothing, I once tried to wash a keyboard of mine, then plugged it in before it was completely dry. Result was I had to live without the punctuation mark and some other keys until I got a new one. Moral of the story: Next time you wash your keyboard use the hairdrier on it afterwards

Actually the moral of the story is don't wash your keyboard. lol. You're lucky it worked at all.

Trev, do the control keys only not work in word?

It's perfectly fine to wash your keyboard with a dishwasher. Just make sure it is completely dry before you use it. Oh and, make sure the water is not hot enough to deform the plastic... Although I would love to see a photo of a heat deformed keyboard.
