You go to "Regional and Language Options" in the Control Panel and change the keyboard to English.

Good Luck

After a couple hours I was finally able to change my keyboard.. I had to REMOVE all other keyboards before it would apply the new setting.

Thank your directions.. With out I would still be pulling out my hair! :)
