Do you get the expected result if you press C-q (Control+q) before you press the Control+Alt+7 keystroke?

I accepted all the default installation options. I did not customize anything. I am using Windows XP home edition (portuguese). Problem: When I start a new file or open an existing file (extensions .txt or .c), I am unable to type square or curly brackets like {[]}. These characters are usually typed pressing Control+Alt and keys 7, 8, 9, 0 but this does not work in EmacsW32. If I open a file which already contains these characters, they will be displayed; but I cann't type new ones. Is there any way that I can solve this problem? Thanks, M?rio Barbosa
