Well it seems your keyboard layout has gone bad. When did this happen? Is there any errors or warning in device manager?

In the mean time have a look at the following link, you migh find it helpfull.

I have just had the same problem and it turned out keyboard setting was in English US version, but I use English UK.

go to start button>

control panel>

date time language regional options>

regional and language options>

language tab> details

check that english US is not selected if it is that is the problem and will need deselcting and select

english UK

hope you get sorted
