Keyboard Layout Problem
Hello!
I have been trying to fix this problem for several weeks on my own. I am now to the point where I admit I will need help on this one.
I usually use the French (Canada) keyboard layout. I have been using it since Win95, so I'm very used to it. Now, a couple of weeks ago, the accentuated characters started to act up. For instance, instead of hitting the accent key, then the letter to write "à", the accent key displays "``" before I hit the "a". Same thing with "^^", "¸¸", "¨¨".
I first assumed this was caused by a recently installed software. I deactivated all programs in the startup sequence. At first, the keyboard acted fine. However, after opening a Windows Explorer window, the problem appeared.
I rebooted a couple of times and I observed the same behavior every time. This really seems to be a problem with a modification of Windows. I have no clue how it came to be and what is the cause.
I have two profiles set up on the computer and only mine displays this problem. I also reinstalled Windows at some point and the problem came back, so I would really like to know the cause.
If anyone has any suggestion, let me know!!!
