I set up this keyboard last year on my new XP computer, so I
know it can be done. Now I need to do it on another
computer and I can't remember how I did it.

I have instructions on how to select the keyboard for
Win98SE, but XP is a horse of another color. I don't see
anything in the keyboard app in Control Panel that gives me
a clue.

Help please.

Thanks
 
Never mind. I found it under Regional and Language Options.
It's no longer under keyboard in the Control Panel.

Sorry..

If you want to be able to type foreign characters like ç ñ and ä, let
me make another suggestion which I think is a much better wayto do it.

I use a little freeware background program called AllChars. This lets
me type many common special characters (many of these are used in
other languages) by pressing the ctrl key followed by a two character
mnemonic combination.

For example, for ñ the two characters are ~ and n. For ç it's c and ,
For ü it's u and "

Ken, doesn't confusion arise with the Ctrl key since Windows
also uses that key a lot? Do you press and hold Ctrl, or
press and release it before you type in the two other
characters?
