    It's to do with your Regional Settings. Go to the control panel and locate your regional settings. Set it to 'English, Ireland' or similar. It is probably now set to US format which messes up your keyboard and your date formats

    If you're on XP:

    Regional and Language Options -> Languages Tab -> Details - that's where English (Ireland) - Irish should be used for the keyboard. Changing the Language settings on the first page of the Regional and Language Options will not change the keyboard layout.
