I needed a way to globally remap the keys on the keyboard. I have actually found that way in the meantime, by using Windows' Scancode Map, located in "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\KeyboardLayout\Scancode Map":BINARY DATA.
The problem has been thus fixed.

Use the scancode map! "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\KeyboardLayout\Scancode Map", in Registry Editor, which is accessible by the name of regedit.exe from the searchbox of start menu/screen. This (hack?) works on all NT based versions* of Windows.

*On Windows 2000/XP/2003 you need to type the name of regedit.exe in the Run dialog box, accessible by the shortcut Win+R

Instead of doing something too difficult you could consider the freeware http://www.autohotkey.com/. I am using it for years now and it works fine.

I am using it for German characters on a US international keyboard.
