On my Win98SE computer, I'm having a problem with my keyboard. It runs fine in windows, bu twhenever I try to run command or a command-line-based program, several of the keys (> " ? / \) show up as different characters, and if I treat it only as a graphics glitch, it doens't work. Does anyone know what the problem might be? My keyboard is set to English (United States), and Unisted States 101 is the keyboard type. Help, because I can no longer use MS-DOS, and I don't like that!
EDIt: didn't mention, I tried a different keyboard. Same problem occurred. (edited by Sukasa + on 06-25-06 12:56 AM) |

I believe the key mapping in MS-DOS is inndependant from the one in Win98. Now, how the fix it, I have no idea (I knew which key was what) | |||

Try changing the command prompt font? | |||

I tried that... It's strange, just those few keys (and the tilde key too) have those problems. funnily enough, the tilde key gives me the correct keyt that I need when I capitalize it, so I got the backslash back, and for the tilde I just use Alt+2174. annoying, but for now it's a useable workaround. | |||

I get this problem on a lot of machines; usually the autoexec.bat or config.sys has a line setting it to the French layout. | |||

I managed to replicate the problem in wondows, by setting the keyboard type to the "Canadian Multilingual" keyboard. autoexec, on startup, loads keybd2.sys (or some other collection of similar letters)... is the "2" there important at all? | |||

Get used to ascii codes for special characters. Like alt+92 for \. |
