Everytime I type an apostrophe, a "search" window opens up at the bottom of my screen and will not let me use an apostrophe... any ideas what may be causing this?
 
No, I don't know. However, I do know that Disney computers won't let you type an apostrophe if it's part of your last name. Very annoying!
 
Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, Keyboard.

Click on the Language tab. If you have any other language choices besides US English (or standard English), there are keystrokes that will change that without having to go into the control panel. Check to make sure you don't have International English selected by some chance.

I just went and looked (because the problem made me curious) and there are more than 40 choices for the English language on my computer--US, UK, Trinidad, Jamaica...whoa! :rotfl2:

Its a conspiracy. Just be thankful they only took away your ability to type an "apostrophe". Some people actually got the probe. But yeah, consipracy.
 
Papa Deuce - just wondering if this solved your problem.

Hey, at least you can spell it. Don't sweat the small stuff - it's too hot as it is. ;):jester:

I tried to personalize a Disney item for someone, and put a word in quotes. The poor recipient wound up getting "cursed" at - twice! Bad Mouse! :faint::p

If you ever cannot type an apostrope -
C/P me!

ETA: If you mean that that's more than twice today a post of mine (or someone else) has made you think "HUH?", how ironic that your post had me doing the same. :p

I got the "today" part ;) - it was/is the rest with which I'm struggling. Point to you.
Anyone at all want to clue me in?
