Thanks for the help but when i click on details under languages tab there is a window that comes up and says "incompatible keyboard driver detected. this dialog has been disabled"
any suggestions ?

[Broni]

We need more details, then.
What language is the keyboard set to?
To what language do you want to change it?
Is it new computer, bought in different country, than you reside?
Give us some info to explain how did this problem arise...

To what language do you want to change it?

Is it new computer, bought in different country, than you reside?

You may need to install keyboard driver, or try another keyboard.

[IaBi]

Yea, but i already did buy a new keyboard there was no driver available and non existed and i've tried installing a drive for my current keyboard but it makes no difference

[Broni]

Go Start>Run, type in:
regedit
Click OK.

In Registry Editor, navigate to:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts
It should look like this:

Does it look like the above on your computer?

[IaBi]

Create restore point.
Download attached keyboard_layouts.zip file.
Unzip it.
Right click on keyboard_layouts.reg, click "Merge".
Accept registry merge.
Restart computer, and see, if you're still getting Incompatible keyboard driver detected error.

[IaBi]

Yea ok then but where's the attached file located ?
