Hello. On a UK keyboard pressing shift and 2 should make @. You can change your keyboard layout on Windows 7 by going to: Start, Control Panel, Time Language and Regional, Region and Time. On the 'Keyboards and Languages' tab click change keyboard and in the pop up window click 'add' and choose 'English (United Kingdom) and then click 'OK' on every window. İf you prefer and like to have the @ symbol on the number 2 whilst you hold shift instead of holding down shift and the button next to shift, then just do the same but select 'English (United States)' instead. Hope this helps
