Very strange behavior. Some background:

I bought a new lenovo G550 laptop, running Windows 7. I live in Israel.

When I type certain keys, in any application, they are prefaced with the backquote (`).

These characters are: Insert, Delete, Left Ctrl (the right-hand one is fine), - (the regular dash: the one on the keypad is fine), =, 5 (the regular one), 4 (the one on the numeric keypad, whether or not Num Lock is on), and PgDn (the regular one).

When I press the Fn key with these I don't get the behavior.

Does anyone know why this is happening, or how I can fix it?
