Solution 1:

Go into your keyboard control panel and change from the US-International layout to the US layout.

Solution 2:

The problem is that some countries have more accent than we have keys. So to solve this problem they have invented this weird system where you click on a ' before and then on the letter. So '+e would often create an é. You should go in the preferences and change the type of keyboard you have. I don't have unfortunately a windows from many years so I cannot guide you to that. But this is the general idea.
