Backslash key shows W with line through it

S

Softheads

Compaq Presario SR1620NX with Win XP Home SP2. All MS updates done.

When you type a backslash (eg. in start> Run c:\), the backslash character
shows as a W with a line through it. (similar to strikethrough).

Even when a program is displaying a path, it will show like:
Updating: c:Wprogram filesWGrisoftWAVG
where the W should be the \.

Other keys appear to work fine. I've checked the Regional & Language from
CPanel, and all appears fine (English US).

Any idea's?
