Tech Help Symbol keys In-game

While playing Maplestory my symbol keys act weird, this only happens after about 5 minutes of playing. For example '?' becomes nothing and '^' becomes question mark. I've switched my keyboard to US Standard then back to Canadian Standard. This only seems to be happening while in MS, if it occur in-game and I Tabout the keys still work as their set function in other windows. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be great. It's just really annoying..

Thanks

[quote=Xenossaga]@kngr2: As I recall, a french canadian keyboard layout has shift + 6 as ? and the question mark as e (accent) hence why you would see nothing on MS because they don't support that character. French characters are normally used with the [ ] ; ' / keys, that's why you get messed up grammar characters instead of french characters.[/quote]
That makes sense! xD

@Laniroto Thanks that works great!

[quote=Xenossaga]Are you using a bilingual keyboard for Canada? Normally that happens on those keyboards.. cause it switches from english to french

To fix it, you just have to constantly press shift then ctrl consecutively until it gets back to normal .. or so I think. It hasn't happened to me in awhile[/quote]

That could be the problem. However if it was I should be getting french characters not messed up grammar symbols.
