Dear Friends,
I run VISTA now, with a Belgian AZERTY keyboard. When I open a DOS
window with DP, the foreign keyboard is no longer recognized and is
treated as QWERTY. Even when I paste AZERTY text already written in a WP
document into a DP field, everything is converted to QWERTY - really
bizarre.
On my last XP machine I solved the problem by running config and going
to the registry editor to edit the "international" tab for keyboards and
force the machine to recognize my Belgian keyboard at the DOS level.
How do I do the same for VISTA?
Hi all,
Edward Mendelson describes a possible solution for this (and many other
Vista-related) problems on : ->
http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/vista.html
Quote :
"(3) If, and only if, you do not use a US-English keyboard layout in WP,
you must modify the Autoexec.nt file on your Vista system to that DOS
applications such as WPDOS use the keyboard that you need. Download this
desktop shortcut EditAutoexec.nt to your Vista desktop or some other
convenient location (you may need to right-click on the links and select
Save link as...). Double-click on either shortcut to edit the associated
file in Windows Notepad; go the foot of the file and add this line
(replacing xx with the two-letter abbreviation of your keyboard layout,
for example, uk or nl):
kb16 xx
Close and save the file. The change that you made will apply to the next
DOS application you launch; you do not need to reboot your computer.
Important: If you use any program that uses a special Autoexec.nt file,
you must make this change in all such files"
