Windows 7: keyboard problem

G'day not sure if this is the right place for this, if not please move it.
I have a problem that I have been trying to fix ever since I installed windows 7 last year.
When i press the tilde key(`) nothing happens, however as soon as I press another key the ` shows up
eg if I press tilde nothing shows up but if the next key I press is 1 I get `1
The same thing happens with my quotation mark key/inverted commas ( ' )
Press it once and nothing happens but as soon a I press another key it comes up.
Its the same for these two keys if I hold shift down too ( ~ and " )
If the press either key 2 times I get both keystrokes
eg tilde pressed 2 times gives ``
Every other key words fine.
I have windows 7 64bit installed, with a logitech wireless keyboard.
I have installed windows 7 on 3 other computers(two are 64 bit and the other 32bit) for friends and they have the same problem, two are using logitech keyboards and the other is a HP keyboard.
Its a real pain when your typing and you look back and your inverted commas are in the wrong place or not there at all.

Hope you can understand what I mean.
Thanks for your time and hopefully someone knows how to fix this.

You said you installed it, did you use the same disk? It sounds like it might be a buggy disk, but it is odd it is happening on all of them.

Perhaps you could try updating the generic keyboard driver and/or the specific keyboard driver.

Thanks for the reply mate.
No every computer has it own install disc, one was even a brand new pc with windows pre-installed (i just set it all up for him)

I have tried updating the keyboard driver with no luck.
I will try it again just to make sure as i haven't done that for a few months
thanks once again,
cheers

That is REALLY weird. I cannot think of anything that would cause that.

Unless there is a program you installed on all of them.

No mate only program I installed all of them that is the same is office
Like I said its got me stumped, most problem I can fix but not this one.
Did a google search and there are a few other people with the same problem too.
Windows 7 keyboard problem? - Yahoo! Answers is one of them

thanks

Have you read this thread: ` key

thanks mate just read it now.

I have never had that happen to me on windows xp or 98 over the years, pressing tilde always gave me a `
tried changing the keyboard layout again, but still the same.
I can live with tilde key but the inverted comma key is a real pain, I use it a bit.

You could try English (United States) - US, I think I've heard about similar issue disappearing when using this layout.
