I did "inactivate" the graphics in the device manager.
Is that the same as installing standard VGA?
It did not help.

I took a quick look at the articles. It will take some time before I have
time to study them close (I'm preparing for Christmas....)
But I thougt I should try failsafe mode again:
(On another computer with normal functioning keyboard accent keys are
working the same way in normal and safe mode (as you probably already
knew...)
When I restarted my computer in safe mode the accent keys did not seem to
react at all.
In normal mode I can write ´´´´´´´´´´´´¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨~~~~~~ with accent keys.
In safe mode nothing happens.

I don't know what you did with the video but undo it.

To boot with a vga driver choose it at the safe mode/normal mode screen =
at boot - Enable VGA Mode.

That clean boot procedure should help identify something that may be =
related (ie no accents in safe mode). I suspect it's the same culprit. =
Safe mode is a form of clean boot meant for recovery rather than =
troubleshooting. So one can't narrow down the problem software.

Most english speakers do not use these features (or even have them =
available - I do because I spell resume with accents if being formal). =
If you speak norweigian or something you may get more help from prople =
who use similar languages.
But the norweigians only have an old IE4 group. If you speak french go =
ask the frogs. They have lots of accents (should see what they did to =
the poor vietnamese - 30 vowells 5 letters with 6 accents type things =
each). We have 5 in english, no more and no less.

Now I have tried booting in VGA mode. No difference.
-
Does someone know a Swedish, or Norweigian or other (not Frenchspeaking...)
group where I could post this issue?
-
I restarted in Safe Mode with Command Prompt. At the prompt it is possible
to write accented letters. That was expected as it is possible to write them
in a "DOS"-window in normal mode and in safe mode.

I enabled bootlogging and took a quick look into it.
How do I choose what to load under booting?

--------
David Candy, I really appreciate that you have been with me this long,
without (almost never) having to use accents yourself

Hej då.

Thank you for helping, but

I feel that my wish is to correct some setting in XP.

soc.culture.nordic seems not to be good for XP troubles

Try it and see. Guys there confront the same problems,
and I venture to say that most of them use WinXP.
There are Swedes, Norwegians, Finns, a few Danes,
a bunch of strange Americans and Canadians, and
an occasional Spaniard or Italian.

Ha de så bra.

But the film reviews are probably good. Swedwn is known for it's films.

I can not write é by first pressing the ´-key and then the e-key.

The problem is in (at least) MS Word and IE.

If I press the ´-key it writes ´´.

The same problem with another keyboard.
No problem in DOS-windows.
