US International keyboard stopped working

My US International keyboard stopped working. Instead of accented letters such as é I now get "e. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Open the "Regional and Language Options" control panel and go to the
"Languages" tab. Press the "Details..." button to open "Text Services
and Input Languages" dialog. In the "Settings" tab, the "Installed
services" section lists all installed keyboard layouts. Make sure you
have "United States-International" layout only and no other.

If you have multiple keyboard layouts, pressing CTRL+SHIFT will
switch between the keyboard layouts. This shortcut may be the cause
of your problem if you accidentally pressed it and you have multiple
keyboard layouts. This shortcut is (limitedly) configurable via the
"Key Settings" button.

Thanks for responding. I'm quite familiar with XP keyboard and language settings though. The problem I'm posting is of a different kind -- for one thing, as I mentioned, accentuation still works in a few programs. It looks like some corruption occurred, but I can't trace it. I've looked it up on the web but couldn't find a fix.

That looks more like software problem. Have you updated that software
to a newer version recently?

It's definitely a software problem. I went to the MS International keyboard support page and use the "FIX IT" option which reinstalled it. I then rebooted. No change. I also read somewhere that adding a new language helps, but I haven't seen that.
