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.

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.
