So try another keyboard. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

keyboard enters incorrect keys
Does it work better in Safe Mode? If it works better there, then... try
adjusting settings in "Control Panel, Keyboard, Language tab". I am "English (United States) United States 101" there. Perhaps even look at "Control Panel, Regional Settings", where you may wish to be "English (United States)". Also... "START button, Run, SysEdit". Is there a line in "Autoexec.bat" mentioning the keyboard? Perhaps post that file, then, or just put "REM " in front of that line. Also... (1) Boot to Safe Mode. (Hold F5 as you boot, or hold CTRL for the Startup Menu, & select Safe Mode from that. Or turn on the Startup Menu at "START, Run, MSConfig, Advanced button".) (2) "START, Settings, Control Panel, System, Device Manager tab". (3) Open the Keyboard branch, by clicking it's plus sign. (4) Especially if there are multiple drivers in that branch... highlight each drive, & click "Remove"-- each one in the branch, because there's no telling which is the ghost. (5) Close up, & boot to Normal Mode. Hopefully Windows will find the correct drivers, & all will be well still. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, should things get worse after this, PCR "Daren Mauldon" wrote in message ... | I running windows 98 se on laptop. intergrated keyboard standard 101/102 keyboard microsoft natural keyboard.
