Thread: Help request: keyboard issues with " ' symbols

Small help request from anyone who's in the know:

I have a Microsoft Basic 1.0 keyboard on my computer in my store and on my desktop at home. Since installing them on XP (with no region/keyboard changes on XP - I am in Australia using a US-English keyboard), quotation marks (single and double) need to be hit twice to work. If I hit the quotation mark key before the leter "o" I get ö, which I assume is to make the lives of multi-lingual users easy. Similarly, it happens on other letters as well.

Any idea how I can get this turned off/back to normal?

Rep speed, much love and karma for the person who helps me solve this!

Thanks!

Daniel.

Much love, respect, and speed points to AlwaysCurious! I tried googling for this and couldn't find it, but your solution is right!

Woooooohooo! :-) You've made my afternoon!

Thanks!

Daniel.

In the future, another trick is to go to Regional Settings, and get to "Change Keyboards"...if you try to "Add" a new keyboard language, it will let you preview the keyboard layout before you choose it. So, you can actually see the keyboard layout you'll be using if you select that region/language.
