Default Suddently when we type in . (dot or point) become comma in excel

Hi,

I have problem with my excel 2000, when we type in . (dot) it
return , (comma). This only happen when we use dot under the number at
your keyboard(right). When we use dot under the letter (center) it
can't be use as a decimal point for example when we type in .5 in any
cell normally your excel automatically return to 0.5. Now any formula
related to decimal point can't be use. Pls help why thing happen and
how to solve this problem..
URGENT PLSSSS..
