Were you able to resolve this? I am having a similar problem and no matter what I do I can't turn it off. It's really annoying.

Did you read the response from Suzanne Barnhill on this thread:

You have probably enabled an international keyboard layout that uses the '
and " keys as setup keys for accented characters. Make sure that the
keyboard is set (Start | Settings | Control Panel | Regional Options) for
some flavor of English.
