Answer 1

Sounds like you have the wrong keyboard layout selected.



1. Click the Start->Control Panel menu item.

2. Click Date, Time, Language and Regional Options.

3. Click Add Other Languages.

4. Click the Details button.

5. If the language you want isn’t in the list, use the Add button to add it.

6. Click on a language you want to delete and click the Remove button to get rid of it. Repeat as necessary.



Hope that helps.

Control panel international settings and select the input locale correctly. There is a keyboard setting icon there as well.
