Hello Sarah,
It is possible that the question mark key has been mapped to a different key
function. However, before getting into key mapping there is another
possibility you might check out. One of my keyboards at work for some
reason keeps switching to other keyboard languages. There will be times
when I put in a password and it is rejected, and the reason is that the
keyboard has changed to using a different language. If there is more than
one keyboard language installed then try using the left Alt key with the
left shift key to see if you can switch between keyboard languages. If the
left alt with left shift doesn't switch keyboard languages then check in the
control panel under the keyboard settings to find out if there are other
keyboard languages installed. In the settings there is a choice for using
the Alt and shift key for switching that can be checked if there are
keyboard languages to switch between. There are other possible reasons for
the problem to be happening, but you might just check this out first.
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] the questionmark does not speak like normal
Hello. I have a friend who is having this problem. She pushes the
questionmark key but it says another punctuation like left double bracket
or
something of that nature. I tolk her to have a sighted person take a look
to
see if the questionmark is coming out correctly on the screen. If it is,
what could be causing her jaws to do this? She is using jaws 8.
Thanks.
