Your problem stems from the fact that you are using a UK system disk with a US
keyboard.  The best solution is to get a US system disk, but barring that,
you can copy the resources INIT 0 and INIT 1 from your older disk to your
newer.  This may not work if your old system is too old however.  Then again
there may be a utility that you have to do just that (REdit and Localizer come
to mind.)
