From: Tony Sperling on 14 May 2006 01:50 Just a hunch - what language versions are you having? I am thinking of keyboard incompatibilities in the early stages. Is your keyboard the same language as the Windows version, at this point of the installation? Tony. . .

From: Tony Sperling on 14 May 2006 05:10 Thanks, Charlie. Yes, sitting in Denmark, I have seen/heard of this before, although personally I stick with the International versions for all my installations, and the Danish keybord doesn't remap the standard keys, so it's been a while. The German keyboard, conversely, remaps the 'z' and the 'x' (if I am not mistaken) this would be enough to create havoc. It is wise to remember, although given enough time to forget, we usually will.

From: PaulT on 14 May 2006 07:32 Hi, the keyboard is UK/English (Microsoft) I could try using one of my other keyboards to see if it helps. Are there any other hardware items it may rely on or just the keyboard ? also do you know if there is anything o teh Cd that could help me identify what actual version it thinks it is ? Regards.

Ok, seems that the label of the CD actually suggest it's a Volume licensed data, on a OEM disc, I'm majorly confused. Sent off another mail to the retailer asking for a replacement. Cheers. |
