Sounds like your keyboard setup, been looking in the control Panel but I cant see anything beside the Regional settings....mmmm

If you go to Control Panel/Keyboard/"Click here and hold down......" do you still get the: ' ? (This is on a XP PC BTW).

by any chance do you hit the ` key by mistake (its the key located just to the left of the 1 key), if you hit this key (even in note pad or any text box), the character will not display on screen right away, but the next time you type any character the ` will appear along with the character you typed(some text boxes will convert that into à ), eg hit the key ` (noting will be typed on screen) then type an a, what will appear will be à but try ` and a d an you will get `d , Give it a go in notepad.
