Re: Stuck in US Regional Settings!!!!

I managed to fix this when I had a similar problem. I couldn't switch to
UK keyboard even with admin access and I suspected some missing file or
registry problem so I:-

- copied all the *.nls and kbd*.dll files from the SYSTEM32 folder from
a WORKING WindowsXP computer

- exported registry entries from the working computer registry which I
found by searching for "kbduk" (only the 2 keys found in HKEY LOCAL
MACHINE were necessary), saving them as two .reg files and then
importing them on the damaged machine (double-clicking them should do
it)

This allowed me to choose UK keyboard in Regional Settings and it all
now works.

Steve
