How to select the correct keyboard configuration.

You want Windows 7. It just replaced Windows Vista. 
And depending on your system's capabilities, yes it's "better" than XP. If you're going to move away from XP though, I'd switch to Windows 7 rather than Windows Vista.
Windows 7 at it's core IS Vista, however they've made some upgrades, it performs better, is more stable, and worked out most of the Vista bugs.

I'm like Puck. Well, not entirely cos there's only one Puck. But I tend to fix things by fiddling about and changing settings without really having a clue what I am doing. Eventually this seems to solve the problem but often presents new problems. So I just go on fiddling and fixing my way out of trouble. Once the number of new problems reaches critical mass, I junk the old computer and buy a new one. It's expensive but, hey, it works for me, baby!

YES, YO - CABLE MODEM, I THINK.
I TOTALLY HAVE A NEW COMPUTER PROBLEM. MY LAPTOP WAS BEING VERY SLOW INDEED TO START UP, SO I WENT TO 'RUN' AND TYPED IN 'MSCONFIG' AND I UNCHECKED LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WERE STARTING AT STARTUP.
AND NOW IT'S TOTALLY FASTER.
BUT...
MY POOR KEYBOARD HAS TURNED AMERICAN ON ME. HOW DO I MAKE IT BRITISH AGAIN? I WANT THE POUND SIGN ON TOP OF THE THREE, YO! LIKE I NOW HAVE NO WAY OF MAKING A POUND SIGN! ONLY A DOLLAR!

I've decided to make things more focused by domain. I have other plans for the domain the blog used to be hosted on.

So it does! What does the cable plug in to on the other end? Does the device have a name?
Is it a cable modem? If so, you may need to restart the device when you plug it into a new computer.
