Default Keyboard characters messed up in Windows Mail only


When I type a question mark this: É is what I get, when I type the at sign,
this: " comes up. I type quote a this: à is what I get. It`s only in the
mail program. There are others as well. How might I fix this 'question
mark` sigh.............. I went the control panel-keyboard but there arènt
any settings.

A bug in the last update maybe? Very frustrating whatever the reason.

| Change Keyboards.

Tried that. Still stay's with the characters instead of what it's supposed to
be.

Thank you, Steve. I did check this already, my keyboard is set to English -

Very odd, I didn't change a thing.
