XP has azerty-driver; I open "c-prompt" and get an azerty; I launch a .bat which opens a 16-bit DOS program and get a qwerty??? I close the program, return to c-prompt and have an azerty again; no keyb available and nothing in msconfig (cfr.Millennium); thx for your support

it is highly unlikely that windows' support for azerty keyboards extends to dos applications. you would need to find a dos program that provided support for that. azerty works in the dos prompt because the prompt window program has been rewritten for windows xp and has many additional features added to those of the original dos prompt...including azerty...but that is as far as it goes.

We have installed that DOS-program on more than 50 PC's with XP (home and prof) without any problem. We run it directly from the DOS-box or from a shortcut on the desktop. This is the first time that we get in trouble iwith the AZERTY-driver.
