Hi Everyone,

I installed Windows XP x64 on my computer, and it is working fine except
there is no support for keyboards outside of the US. There are only
four choices in the "Regional & Language Options" under the "Add input
section":

United States-Dvorak
United States-Dvorak for left hand
United States-Dvorak for right hand
United States-International


Any ideas on why support for international keyboards are missing?
 
Re: international keyboard support

Have you installed a keyboard driver?

Re: international keyboard support

It's a standard USB keyboard. No drivers are necessary. Works fine in
any 32-bit Windows XP, 2000 computer I've tried it on. With the
previous installations of 32-bit XP/2000, there has always been the
option to select which kind of keyboard you are using in the control
panel. It's just not there in my x64 installation--only the four US
keyboard types I mentioned earlier.

Re: international keyboard support

Initially, I think this sounds a bit strange - I llive in Denmark and
exculsively use english installations on my machines, but I do configure my
local keyboard during the installation, and have never been exposed to
anything like this. Try and install a few extra languages from the
'Regional' applett (have your CD ready) and make sure you have defined one
of them as the default and check there is a definition for you default
keyboard characterset from that end.

Come to think of it - If you have the US version, perhaps you need the
International (UK) version for International support in the box?

Re: international keyboard support

Yeah, it is very strange. I have never been exposed to anything like
this either. It is only in the the x64 installation I have encountered
this. I use English only installations with Danish keyboard mappings
with all my prior installation of 32-bit Windows with no problems.

I will double check the version of my Windows x64, but it should be the
international version that supports the Danish language and keyboard
since it was purchased here.

Re: international keyboard support

I have the Microsoft keyboard and installed the driver, so am unable to
reply to the original standard built in support. Mine is the English
version and has 100+ available to choose from. I use English and Spanish
(Venezuela) for my keyboards.

Re: international keyboard support

I think that most likely something went wrong with your install - if nothing
else comes up, I would do the 'Repair Install', and maybe clean the CD/DVD
drive. A few have had problems installing on USB keyboards even if they work
fine afterwards - try and borrow a PS2 keyboard if you can and go over your
BIOS settings just in case, and do the Repair Install, it will keep your
personal data but the on-line MS updates you have collected will be gone.

Re: international keyboard support

Thanks everyone for your input. I resolved the problem with Microsoft
Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 (MKLC) -- I just installed it on a computer
with the Danish keyboard layout on it, exported the Danish keyboard
settings via the MKLC, and then imported and installed it using MKLC on
the x64 system.

Worked perfectly!
