quotation mark error - Word/Office XP

[Vihana]

From day one the following has occured:
When I type a quotation mark before a letter, an umlaut
appears over the letter. In order to get a quote, I have
to "force" it (just did) by typing a space after the
quote before the letter, and similarly for the end quote.
But the space does not actually appear. And the quote
only appears after a space is typed.
This problem exists in all typing--Word, Outlook Express
emails, even in Notepad!
PLEASE someone give me a solution. At first I couldn't
type quotes at all..then I configured something and
worked it out. But it's very annoying.
Can someone assist please?

Sorry about multi-post. Wasn't sure which forum was
appropriate or if answer would be given in wrong forum.
