Default Inability to type certain characters

For some reason, I cannot type any certain characters in the chatbox, such as + = [ ] { } " ' etc.

Anyone know why or know how to fix it? Thanks.

I had this problem in XP, changing my keyboard settings from English (international) to English (US) resolved it for me.

I run windows 7 and its the first time I have been able to type the special letters while playing an emu server.

Language is set to US(united states) if that helps

My old Windows 7 laptop worked fine, my new Windows 7 laptop isn't. They're both x64, but the old one was Professional and this one is Home Premium.

I noticed that while = signs and " ' marks don't show, there are other odd effects such as the ] button entering a [ and the \ button entering a ]

The current keyboard layout is English (United States)

3) Right-Click on "Microsoft eHome MCIR 109 Keyboard" and choose "Uninstall", then click "Ok".
4) Right-Click on "Microsoft eHome MCIR Keyboard" and choose "Uninstall", then click "Ok".
5) Right-Click on "Microsoft eHome Remote Control Keyboard keys" and choose "Uninstall", then click "Ok".
6) Click on "Human Interface Devices" to open the tree.
7) Right-Click on "Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver" and choose "Disable", then click "Ok".

You do not have to reboot.

Worked like a charm. Note that while you do not have to reboot, you do have to re-start P99 (if you are in it) in order to be able to type quotes and so forth.
