In the control panel there is a regional and language options.
There you setup what type of keyboard(s) you want to use as
primary and any others you want to be available. I have US no accents
as primary, but if I press CTL+SHIFT by itself, it's a toggle to the
International keyboard, OR I can press left-alt+Shift and a number to
go to a specific keyboard (0=US, 1=International)...
It's the international keyboard that has the deadkeys -- and,
as I think someone mentioned, whether or not deadkeys are activated
may be on an application-by-application basis.
So you might accidently be in the wrong keyboard mode, or someone set your
default keyboard up to be an international one.
You should be able to change it for yourself without administrator
rights -- or for the login screen (& default) if you are admin. IF you never
use dead keys just delete the alternate keyboard and it won't turn on.
You can always use MS's charmap in a pinch, or download the free util(s)
BABELMAP and BABELPAD... (which sorta is the reason I logged onto this
group today... :-))...
Hope that helps..
