Re: characters keep switching to a french keyboard
VABR,
I’m from Canada, and so is my version of Vista and am having some difficulties with the language of my keyboard changing without me wanting it to.

The problem is that you identified yourself to Vista as being in Canada. This choice installs a French-Canadian keyboard layout, and various things cause the keyboard mapping to change to French, even if you disable all the hotkeys for this.
The quick and effective solution:
Control Panel » Regional and Language Options » Keyboards and Languages » Change Keyboards » *remove* the French keyboard » Apply » OK your way back to the desktop Restart.

I use Windows Vista and often when I am repling (MS Outlook) in email and
also in word docs, the keyboard seems to switch to a French version, and
french characters display. For example, if I click shift 2, I will not get
the @ symbol; instead the " will display. Does anyone know why this is
happening and how I can stop this?
Thanks so much
