I have two computers, a 486 with Win 95 and a Duron 1000 with Win 2000 and I have the same trouble on both of them. The 486 has had the problem for some time but the Duron has just started. All the other keys perform perfectly.

This is one I can answer. You've got the keyboard set to English (UK), rather than English (US) or English (New Zealand). British keyboards have the " on the 2 key - go to Keyboard in your Control Panel Settings, and under Input Locales, choose either US or New Zealand settings. If it's not listed in the drop down menu, choose add, find English (New Zealand), and select that. Keyboard layout should be US.
