how do you disable the quote ("") thing having to type it twice and things,..

[JimT]

when I want to quote a word or use the quotes (either single or the double quotes) I have to either press quote and type, the quote appears and then press quote again, and other times it places 2 dots horizontal above the letter i type.  but this time I need to press it twice and then I get 2 quotes and have to back space out one of them - gets to be annoying...

.

here is what happens, i press quote once änd type - see above my first ""and"" (and see here too) along the line and then so on keep having these issues - annoying i tell yah - i don't know where to turn it off - anyone???:robotmad:

Jim,

I must admit that I did have a bit of a chuckle when I read your post. I figure you don't think it is all that funny though.

Sounds like you've enabled a second keyboard. Your redemption should be found by changing the keyboard language back to US English.

How to change the keyboard language

ahhh, i didn't think to look at it that way.  i was thinking maybe its some fancy k/stroke saving feature or something thats gone all horribly wrong...  i'll check it out later and see what lang the keyboard is or/and remove and re-install the k/b drivers... thanks for the suggestion!!  I'll have my fingers X while doing it - otherwise I'll resort to either voice activated typing commands or the onscreen k/b instead

ps: just wondering what the worlds record words per minute is for onscreen k/b typing with a mouse is?

thanks for that - your right on the money there... under control panel->regional and language options->keyboard and languages->change keyboards...->Default input language was set to "English (Australia) - United States International", I changed it to "English (Australia) - US"... So now you can see, I type my "quotes" properly!!!

There is a also a possibility that while working you pressed 'ctrl' and 'shift' key simultaneously. Press this again to turn of this feature.Hope this may be helpful. 🙂

I had the same problem here in South Africa--same problem and same solution worked for me!

Control Panel ---Language---Options removed US International and left US English. Problem solved!
