Two suggestions:
One, make sure your language setting is set for English [United States]. (Control Panel: Click on "Date, Time, Language and Regional Options")
Two, if that doesn't address it, see this: http://www.lockergnome.com/nexus/news/2004/08/02/remapping-keys-in-windows-2000-and-xp/ which touches on how to set any key to do anything you want...
Good luck!

Same thing happened to me , This is how it was solved..
As some readers have suggested- it the language setting.
Change from USA(How my pC changed by itself to USA from UK I will never know)
And you problem solved..

try switching to a new keyboard or your motherboard has an issue... you could see if the keyboard you have, has a driver available, but i doubt that is the issue
