Keyboard Layout

I'm assisting with an e-prime experiment that is obtaining a string response
to visual stimuli.

Oddly, even though the machine is set up only to recognise the UK english
keyboard layout, and the machine is a UK model, running a UK version of
WinXP (SP2), the repsonses are all obtained as if the keyboard had been
switched to US english.

As the responses are inherently free, symbols can be used, and for example,
the UK pound symbol £ is being replaced by #, the @ sign does not give any
response at all, and so on.

Is there anyway, e.g. with an inline object, to force a codepage on the
experiment, and why is it changing the default layout anyway?

All the best
