Just some information for anyone who is having this problem.... The solution is VERY
obscure but I found it in the end and it goes as follows:-
Open a DOS window and type MSCONFIG. The System Configuration Utility should start.
If it doesn't, change directory to "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND" and try again. Once the SCU
is open, select the "International" tab and select your appropriate language setting.
After the various fields have been filled in, look at the one named "Keyboard Data
File Name". No matter what it says in this field, delete the entry and simply type
"keyboard.sys" (omitting the quotation marks). DON'T type in any specific path name.
Re-start your computer and bingo!
I believe that this problem only affects Windows ME, but feel free to correct me
if you encounter it on another OS.
