  when trying to press backslash (key next to Z) I get a # (hash) symbol.  Equally, my hash symbol (next to my @' key) does nothing
  
  please help!All of my other keys work fine.  I am using windows 7.  My regions are setup as UK as is my keyboard.

  I have the same problem and can at least tell you how it has arisen in my case.  I ordered a replacement laptop keyboard, was disappointed to find I had been supplied with a US one instead of UK, but installed it anyway and swapped a few keys around and took the £ from the UK one.  Everything was fine apart from the fact that my backslash key (on my HP laptop keyboard) is displaying a hash.
