Mine was also bought in the UK. Perhaps it is a problem

'shift 3' = pound sign keyboard convention??

Mine are no longer pristine - I had already played with the system
to check it out, with the intention of doing a clean re-install
before any serious use. Consequently I think Windows is still

AUTOEXEC.BAT seems to contain nothing but REM'd factory
installation instructions, plus what I have added.
For what it is worth, they contain the following on my system:
AUTOEXEC.BAT:
