Is it possible that you are using a different keyboard layout to that of the country where your keyboard is from?

For example, on a UK keyboard the " key is the 2 button, whereas on a US keyboard the 2 button writes @.

To check/change your layout, go to System> Preferences> Keyboard. Then navigate to the layout selection menu, and select the appropriate layout for your country.

I tried all sorts of keyboards but none helped. The way I got out of the problem was to upgrade to ver. 8 and then there was no problem
