It seems likely that you touched the CTRL key while pressing the apostrophe key, which creates a shortcut to an accented letter eg CTRL+',e will give ?.

Try Ctrl + e again to see if it goes away..cheers

SOURCE: How can I unlock the blue function keys on my HP Pavilion dv2000?

Hi, I had the same problem and found the solution on another website:

To turn on and off Bilingual blue keys:

Hit Ctrl + Shift + shift
(yes, both shift keys at the same time in addition to ctrl)

and that turns on and off the Canadian bilingual blue keys on HP lap tops.

It's so annoying and happens to me frequently. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: how to make french accents marks on a laptop that

You need to tell windows it has a french keyboard:


In the control panel, go to regional and language options.
Go to the keyboards and languages tab, click change keyboards. On the window that pops up, click on the general tab. You probably have just the us keyboard installed. Click add, then choose either english-canada or french-france, then click to add the french keyboard. Click preview to see where the accent keys will be (so you can find them). Now, select the french keyboard and click 'move up' so the french keyboard is above the us english one.

Voila!

Hope this helps. Post a comment if you get stuck.

My lower case e shows vertical lines, the upper case is fine as are all other keys

The lower case "e" spoke on the print wheel is either bent or broken. If it's bent you may be able to straighten it, if broken it needs replaced.
