Quotes, Tilde, Caret Symbol appears only when clicked twice !

Hi Guys ... Sorry I'm a little off topic but didn't know on which NG to
post.

Just purchased a new HP laptop & was working on some Access project
when I realized that certain keys when typed were not appearing ... eg:

Single Quotes
Double Quotes
Caret (exponentiation) Symbol i.e. (Shift+6)
Tilde symbol & the sign below it (on the same key)

The strange thing is that when I type out any of these symbols twice
they appear twice on screen but when I type it once it doesn't appear.

Another odd thing: If I type a double quote it doesn't appear but
immediately thereafter if I type any other character, both, the Quote +
the character appears.

Please note, I subsequently fired up Notepad & MS-Word and the same
behaviour replicates itself there too.

Has anyone faced this before ? I'm sorry, I know I'm a little
off-topic here but since I've been posting to this group before & didnt
know where else to post, I'm taking a chance. If anyone would like to
direct me to another site, I'd be obliged.

Thanks & Best Rgds,
Prakash.
