Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

To select a keyboard layout

1.. Open On-Screen Keyboard.
2.. On the Keyboard menu, select the following keyboard options:
a.. Select the keyboard layout.
a.. To use a keyboard layout which includes the numeric keypad, choose
Enhanced Keyboard.
b.. To use a keyboard layout that does not include the numeric keypad,
choose Standard Keyboard.
b.. Select the way the keys appear on the keyboard.
a.. To display keys as they would normally appear on a standard
keyboard, choose Regular Layout.
b.. To display the most frequently used character keys together on the
keyboard, choose Block Layout. (This also puts directional keys in the
lower-right corner.)
c.. Select the type of keyboard.
a.. To use the U.S. standard keyboard, choose 101 keys.
b.. To use the universal keyboard, choose 102 keys.
c.. To use the keyboard that has additional Japanese characters,
choose 106 keys.
Notes

a.. To open On-Screen Keyboard, click Start, point to All Programs, point
to Accessories, point to Accessibility, and then click On-Screen Keyboard.
b.. Block layout is especially useful if you are using Hover to select
mode because the characters most used are easy to select.
c.. The 102 keys and 106 keys settings are not available with Block
Layout.
d.. The program in which you want to type characters must be active while
you are using On-Screen Keyboard.

You reinstalled Windows XP and are now using the generic keyboard drivers
that are supplied with the operating system. You must now reinstall the
keyboard specific Windows XP drivers from the keyboard manufacturer or the
computer manufacturer. Go to the manufacturers web site to obtain the latest
drivers.
