upper case and this also happens when pressing /. I have tried to clear the
preassigned symbol designations. Please HELP!

Your Windows is set to some keyboard you're not familiar with. The
easiest way to fix it permanently is to go to Start > Control Panel >
Regional and Language Options and follow the tabs and buttons to where
you can delete all the keyboards that aren't (say) "US English" (or
add the one that is).

If you have a reason for keeping the other keyboards, you toggle among
them with Alt+Shift.
