Can't get the acute accent on i using ALT Gr key

I have a problem displaying the '=ED' character in
any text editor under xp.

The keyboard and the regional settings are correct at English(Irish).

In order to get the acute accent on vowels I use the key combination of
Alt Gr + Vowel, eg a,e,i,o,u, to display =E1,=E9,=ED,=F3,=FA.
They all work with the exception of the =ED.

The ALT+0237 keystroke combination works but I would rather use the
ALTGR system.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I can't help with your problem, but I wanted to recommend an
alternative solution. I use a little freeware background program
called AllChars. This lets me type many common special characters
(many of these are used in other languages) by pressing the ctrl
key followed by a two character mnemonic combination.
For example, for ñ the two characters are ~ and n. For ç it's c
and , For ü it's u and "

Thanks for the tips but sadly not practical as I have large number of
pcs (xp prof, sp2)to support.

Can't understand how it affects only the i vowel?

Does it work if you do Ctrl-Alt and the i?

The only thing I can think of is alter your keyboard settings to
US-International and then all the accents will be available...but I found
that rather awkward...you may not.

Folks,

I finally found what I was looking for!

The problem has to do with the graphics card on the dell optiplexs -
right click on the desktop goto graphics options, hotkeys , and
choose disable.

Go raibh maith agaibh go l=E9ir!
