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

Thx ! This helped !

Under Text Services and Input Languages -> Settings I changed the
default input language from:
English (United States) - United States-International
to:
English (United States) - US

Now it seems to work as I feel it should. Wonder though what's the
difference between the two ??

Thx again to everyone who's posted a reply.

Best Rgds,
Prakash.

Hi,

Change the "Textservices and Languages" on your computer to English,
and striking a quote prints a quote.

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.
