Cannot type at symbol

When ever I try to type the at symbol I get: " Works by copy and paste so I was able to copy and paste my login email, as I cannot type it in.

Reboot your machine.

Some keyboards have " on shift+2 instead of @. Did you install a new keyboard language recently?

No, I could type @ into google or word, just not in codeproject, but it's working today.

I should have asked - is this Windows 2000? When the same symptoms occur on my Win 2k machine, a reboot fixes the problem.

Shouldn't a logoff and log back in itself work? I think it works.

It is obvious you've uncovered a hidden feature (an Easter Egg perhaps?). Now if we can only find: 1) how to get the copy of Flight Simulator to launch Excel 97 Flight Simulator [^] 2) the documentation on this hidden feature I suspect [2] has to do with Security and thwarting online phishing scams - if you cannot enter information into Explorer, it cannot be phished.
