Please note that you have to type the 4-digit code on thenumeric keypad (do not use the normal number keys) while holding down the Altkey.

Go To control panel - Regional and language options and click on Languages tab; there click on Details button in "text services and input languages" ; then change the default input language to English (United Kingdom).Then the keyboard layout will change to UK standard and you will find the Pound symbol.Change it back to English (US) once your purpose is over

hold down the shift key, and press the number 2 for pound Symbol, or 3 for at sign

Hi,
If you want the pound symbol then you should press the Shift key + the pound key.

This is because it is set to US english keyboard layout rather than UK English layout.

Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Keyboard

and change the language settings

Hold down alt key and enter 156 - when you release the alt key you have the £ on a US keyboard

I am unable to answer your problem that why you are not getting the required symbol if it is there (Hope that you are pressing the no. 3 with Shift key pressed).
But if you need a Pound sign you can get it by pressing 0163 key from the right side numeric keypad while pressing the alt key (i.e. alt+0163).
Remember that you cannot use the upper number key for this purpose.

you can have one ordered but its not woth it cheaper to press you GB keys
