Apostrophes and double quotes don't show up until I type the next letter
Problem
in Windows XP, when I type an apostrophe , or dumb/typewriter quote , no character is displayed. If I type another character, the apostrophe or dumb quote and the next character appear at the same time. This happens with double quotes , apostrophes and tilde characters. What could possibly be causing this? This occurs in all applications I have tested - wordpad, firefox, ms word etc.

Fix for: Apostrophes and double quotes don't show up until I type the next letter
The reason is because you are using US-international keyboard. Here is how to change this: In the Windows run box (Windows+R) type or . Click the "Keyboards and Languages" tab Click "Change Keyboards..." AT THIS POINT MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING "English (United Kingdom) - US" as the default input language, meaning you set the keyboard to US, not US-international
