Hullo, here is my results,

maybe it helps to resolve the problem
changes in the windows configuration don't seem to help.
Switching my keyboard to english layout (via control panel functions) is not

Hengband-1.6.2-win-eng wich is also running on my comp does recognize
the @-character. No probs with that.

Happy bug-hunting!
