Hi:
Check your regional and language settings from control panel first, it may help 
you having to format.
explore around in there are many of options for inputting symbols etcetera.
Best wishes,

Subject: keyboard putting accent signs in place of certain punctuation marks 


Hi all: 

before I do what I fear undoubtedly needs to be done (the old reformat), I just 
wanted to make sure that this problem is what I think it is, a windows problem, 
despite many telling me it's a jaws problem. I have a Del desktop at home which 
at any time at all when you're writing (there's no pattern to this) will put in 
an accent grave when writing apostrophe, a capital e acute when writing a 
question mark and usually a quote when writing an @ sign. I attribute this to 
not doing a full reformat of my computer earlier, when I needed it, only doing 
a quick format which solved my initial problem but created this one. the quick 
format was great in the sense that it kept my JAWS key and many of my settings 
on the C-drive, which I wasn't expecting. I am also expeiriencing this problem 
at work with the keyboard, and I know that XP Pro had been recently imaged onto 
that machine (so put over top of an existing operating system). I believe this 
to be the cause of my problem, but thought I would check with the list before I 
went to the drastic step of reformatting my home machine. note: at home I am 
using JAWS 8.0, and at work JAWS 6.20.
