Change your keyboard settinggs to English (United Kingdom) rather than English (US).
For XP
Go to control panel, Regional & Languge Options, Regional Options tab: Set format to English (United Kingdom) & Location to United Kindom.
Under Languages tab: Click Details button->settings tab->default input language set to English United Kingdom
Installed services, click "add button" choose Input & keyboard as English United Kingdom.
Hope this helps

Keyboards form part of the user interface and a keyboard problem can be very annoying. Sometimes the keyboard drivers can get corrupted. Some of the problems can be fixed . I have found the details given at http://fixit.in/keyboard.html is more useful. Try here, if you can what you are searching for...!

On your taskbar there's a little button left to the clock. Normally it has to show the letters EN. If it doesn't Windows thought it would be better if you didn't use your original config. Press the button and it will show you a list of keyboard configs. If yours isn't there, install it.

I don't have a solution for you at the time but my first recommendation would be to update your antivirus and spyware removal programs and then scan "complete" system. Until you are sure you dont have any "naughty" programs doing this to you; there is no point procedding with the solution I am going to give next.
