This article was previously published under Q126566 SYMPTOMS
When you are typing, quotation marks ("), carets (^), apostrophes ('), and
tildes (~) do not appear until you press another key.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you have the US-International keyboard layout
loaded, and is designed to let you use accented characters without
remapping the keyboard.
RESOLUTION
To change this behavior, use the International tool in Control Panel to
change the keyboard layout from US-International to US.
