Hello, I too have had this problem. My setup:
Server= winxp English, TightVNC 1.2.9, French keyboard, FR/UK locales installed for input Client= win2k English, TightVNC 1.2.9, UK keyboard, US locale installed for input IIRC, the problem was intermittent, normally occurring after activation of the screensaver or just after booting. At first I thought it was a user/machine password problem. Then I ruled that out and started going mad trying to understand what was happening. Then I figured it must be something to do with different keyboards/input locales. The workaround solution I found was to use passwords with letters that are in the same place on both keyboards! Luckily this is not too hard with French and English. For now "forewarned is forearmed", however is this likely to be fixed?. Anyway thanks to all the VNC teams for a great tool :) Chris P.s. Sorry for the late reply, this has been in my drafts for a little while. -----Original Message----- Message: 8 Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2003 16:51:46 +0100 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The solutions to my problem with international keyboards From: Poseitun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> You might want to hear what my solution was. Problem: Windows W2K RealVNC 3.3.7 Norwegian keyboard Dead Norwegian keys I am sorry to say that I didn't get any answers. But I do understand that this is a topic that has been discussed several times before. And thus, probably will be asked several times in the future. Anyway. In Control panel > Regional Options > Input Locales: There has to be only one locale available! If not, I think they at least have to be sorted in the same order on both server and client, but I did not verify this. So in order to get hits on the mailing-list search for other newbies. :-) -- Fix problem with international keyboards in windows. -- Dead keys with windows. For all you other out there, and the developers of VNC. Its very good product. Keep up the work.
