Maybe someone can help me out here.

When I am posting on this board. My quotes show up as È, my apostrophes show up as è, the math brackets show up as ^^¨and Ç so on and so forth. But in word, they show up normally.

Keyboard set up as "English- Canadian"?

Our keyboards need to be "English- American" or else it assumes we are all bilingual.

believe it or not, rebooting fixed it, but yeah, Vista is starting to piss me off.

I was thinking about eventually upgrading to vista... but if I won't even be able to type then forget that!

I've had Vista since launch and would never go back. But you do need a speedy system.

I had the same problem on XP so I don't think it's a Vista problem.

Happens to me on my Vista machine at work all the time. Rebooting is the only thing that fixes it. Believe it or not, I've learned some of the more useful keys so I can keep on working.

Rebooting does usually fix that.

Had it happen to me during a diploma exam.

Now think about how hard it was to convince the teachers that I had to reboot my computer in the middle of a diploma exam. Or trying to convince them to let me save my work. Its either that or I send in a bunch of crap for an essay.

Stupid teachers.

The fix for this is simple (No rebooting required):

CTRL + SHIFT

Type that twice and the keyboard should be back to American English. It has something to do with the localization features of Vista. It gets confused a lot.

Just one more reason why Vista isn't worth the money. <shrug>

Same solution for XP?

How do you create it in the first place?
