non alphanumeric keys problem

Sorry to intrude on your tech environment but I don't know where to look.
I am using a new computer (Windows XP professional) that will not print many of the non alphanumeric characters (such as tilde) to the screen unless I follow it with a spacebar. This is really confusing and frustrating as I work full time with keyboard shortcuts that use all the extra keys on the keyboard.
I am convinced that our tech has installed in some strange way but he doesn't know what he has done. Is there a configuration problem that I can fix?

I would be very grateful for any clues.

A message to *removed by moderator* would be very welcome.
Regards
