Turning off Keyboard shortcuts for International Characters

[Guest]

I have a notebook, and therefore am working on the standard condensed version
of a keyboard. I type fast, and with this psrticular keyboard, I have a
tendancy to hit the Shift and Ctrl, or some other button at the same time...
That said, I am experiences many instances, where by doing this, I
accidentaly activate a French foreign language shortcut. (i.e. when I attempt
to insert quotations, instead an È appears, among other various symbols).
I only type in English, so this is seriously driving me crazy, as even now
it seems to be stuck on, and I cannot use the usual symbols or punctuation,
as I instead recieve French letters and characters...
Please, how do I turn this off (preferrably permanently)!?

I have the same problem My keyboard will suddenly start working as a french
keyboard as well. I have tried Alt, up arrow and shift key combination, and
that usually helps, although I may have to enter it a few times before it
'takes'. I'd love to find a better solution.
