[h-e-w] Emacs Input Method and / or Coding System and / or keyboard setting

[gerald . jean]

Hello,

ever since I upgraded to Emacs 22 (22.2 now but was the same under 22.1),
from 21.3.1, I experience the following problem.

I start Emacs and start editing latex files --- I am using the Auctex
Emac's package), everything works fine for a while but after some time I
can't input the latex special characters, like "\" for example anymore, I
am having problems with accented letters as well, my documents are written
in French, or any of the special characters.  It seems Emacs has switch
coding system or keyboard layout or I don't know what?  I played quite a
bit with the Mule options but without success.  It gets very anoying since
it happens several times a day.  The only cure I found so far is to exit
Emacs and start over again.

Emacs is running on an XP machine.

If anyone has insights into this, it will be greatly appreciated, even a
way to get back to the original coding, or keyboard setting, without having
to quit Emacs would be appreciated,

Thanks,
