    I only have xp in front of me at the moment. In XP you right click the little language icon in the task bar and chose "settings". There you can change the keyboard layout to US. I think it's the same in Vista..

    I don't think you can replace single buttons. well nothing is impossible.. But you could also buy a Clevo 901C keyboard from a UK vendor, like Kobolt and change the entire keyboard. It's really not that difficult. It's not that expensive either..

    Good Luck :)
