View Full Version : International keyboard layout problem

I am using MS Windows for many years and never seen similar thing before...
I have added Polish language to my Windows XP Pro and Polish letters
are accessible, as usual, using right ALT key with standard letter...
All except one: ALT+l (ALT+L works!). This is not keyboard problem
because the same keyboard I used on different pc with Windows XP
with no problems. I suspect some application is hunting ALT+l keys
combination as its shortcut, because letter does not appear in the
word editor (including Wordpad, Notepad, Outlook Express) and there
is no "beep" as for invalid key sequence... Just nothing happens
when I press this keys - and I should get letter l with an accent.
This is very irrytating when I try to type fast and have to go back
and correct word with misspelled letters. How to investigate the problem?
How to get list of shortcuts used by any application in my system?

Sorry, but I do not like your idea :-)))
It should be fixable - it works on any other machine with WinXP
I know - only this one Dell, for some reason, does not display
'l' with an accent. I have eliminated keyboard connecting it to
some other pc and it works fine. The problem must be inside the pc.
No idea how can I trace it... and why only this particular letter? :-O
