Re: Weird Symbols appearing when I type

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Those are all characters for the French language. I initially installed the "Canadian English" version, but unfortunately, Microsoft apparently thinks we all speak and write French up here. I changed to "American English", but the French characters do reappear, just as they have for you, on occasion. Somehow, the two versions of English become muddled sometimes.

It's a Vista problem, not caused by other software.

The cure is to reboot, or — sometimes — it will go away on its own. Frustrating.

When I type symbols, sometimes these weird symbols appear instead (example
below). This does not appear all time time, but when it does, the only way to
fix it seem to be a reboot of my computer. This is not very feasible option
as I am sometimes heavily involved in my task and a reboot would cause
problem in my work. Hopefully, someone would be able to help me fix this
problem

when I try to type the following

[]\;',./{}|:"<>?

The following appear instead:
^çà;è,.é¨ÇÀ:È'"É


Since this problem never happen in my Window XP computer, I am assuming that
this is limited to vista

This problem doesn't always appear... sometimes it is only happening in my
firefox, but sometimes the bug would appear no matter where i type in
vista....

Originally, I thought this problem is limited to my desktop, but it has
recently started appearing in my laptop too....
