Hello to anyone who can help.
I am writing this from a friend computer because my own reliable XPPRO-SP3
locked me out and will not accept my typing.

Everything else work fine for the last five years but now my windows write
other words then the ones I keyboard.

I type M it return R, I type H it gives me P and so on... As a result I
can't write anything from my machine.

It is the same in a WORD page, and in NOTEBOOK as well, and in OUTLOOK
EXPRESS mail page, and even if I create another item and want to rename it ,
it still types other letters then what I input.

I am a bible teacher so I use my machine also for "Complex script" ( right
to left languages) and it was execellent for the last five years. It all
happened when I tried to select a new font from the menu available in WORD
and all hell broke loose.

Several repairmen couldn't fix it even though window is active in full and
all programs are alive. Even all the icons with previous names are there
intact BUT I CAN'T CHANGE ANY NAME ON THEM,

I had the provision of "complex script" completely removed from the
computer so the machine will completely forget the reverse direction setting
but it didn't help.

I have the program TWEAKUI-XP where there is a provision for fixing the font
folder but the "APPLY" provision on the TWEKUI page is greyed out.

I have the excellent program *400 fixes* by Doug Knox and Kelly theriot from
where I downloaded fix # 246 to fix the greyed out "APPLY" in TweakUI but it
remained greyed out. This fix is my last hope and I don't know if the *400
Fixes* has anything else on my topic.

So If there is a good samaritan out there in the person of an MVP , I hope
he/she or they try to help me because the next step is to format the entire
machine and the loss is simply too great to bear.

Many many thanks and God bless

Janet
 
Dear Mark
Thanks for the quick response
I went to the Regional setting and indeed it was "DVORAK" and I removed it.
But I can see where I get the "QUERTY" one?
Where do I get the querty one?.

Thanks
Janet
 
Correction Correction.

The Querty one apparently is the default one because After recycling the
machine it all work fine... and many many thanks to you Marks

But... Should I dare go back to make the machine accept both languages ? I
need it for my teaching lessons that are written in a language that is no
English?

My opinion, I'm afraid, on that would only be a guess. It's hard to tell if
you need it or not. The option to change back and forth is always available,
and I don't think the other language setting is going to be out of reach in
any way you need to worry about.

Mark, you are very good. Many thanks.
You gave me the beginning of the path and I went further and fixed it all
and it works in all languages.

Thank you again
