This may or may not work but depending on the application you are using try to hold the alt key down and type 124.

If not you may have to use the character map located in accessories or system tools. I forget exactly where on XP

Dear Pat
Thanks for your kind reply.
i ment to typing pipe character is not my problem, the problem is why always chinese keyboard and input came out ?

Ok that makes a difference.
There is 3 things I can think of offhand to check.

1. The language settings in the control panel. Which I think you did.

2. Are you running software for your keyboard. If so try to just run it as a standard PS/2 Keyboard.

3. Its possible that the font being used is corrupt and changing that could help.

As for Japenese to Chinese the only thing I have to offer is I have seen that there is regular and simple chinese. I dont know the difference. Possibly the problem lies with that. Otherwise this may be a good thing to speak with MS about.
