can't type chars

Running VPC2007 on my laptop.
Windows 7 host and Win 2.8k 32 bit virtual.

I can't type @
On my laptop keyboard the ampersand is shift + 2 but when I type this I
get a different char. I've tried many times to test my sanity.

I have to go to the host OS and type it into notepad then return to the
VPC and paste it in.

Any ideas?

What is the default language for these?

Thanks you gave me the clue I needed.
Keyboard for host was English - US and on the VPC it was English - UK.
Changed it to English - US and now my @'s are working again.
