The only way for me to write the string
"uri" in this computer is to start by clicking twice on " and delete the last character
if I click " only one time then I get the following
üri"
I also do not see the last " before I go to the next character.
Does somebody know how can I fix this bug

Check internationalization, language and keyboard settings.

Re: some strange problem with one of the computers that I us
Thanks but I do not know how to do it
When I click on setting
I can find
Text sevices and input languages
Default input language
English(United kingdom) United State international
I can change it to something else but it does not help.

Re: some strange problem with one of the computers that I us
On many national keyboard layouts (e.g. French, German, Dutch) characters like quotes and tilde are prefixes to get diacritical markings on the following letter (like the umlaut on the u of your name). On traditional mechanical typrwriters they were implemented by not advancing the carriage when the symbol was typed. If you wanted the next character to appear next to the symbol in stead of overstrike it, you had to type an explicit space.
In analogy with this, typing a space after the quotes or tilde would give you a real quote or tilde.
Of course when you never want to type such characters, it would be more convenient to change keyboard layout to U.S. standard.
On my system (Win XP) I have a "national settings" icon on my control panel, and on the tab "languages" I have a "details" button for input, which pops up a mnu for chosing keyboards.

Hi Uri
Setting your keyboard layout to "US" rather than "United States-International" should resolve the issue. The latter simplifies the creation of extended characters.
