DOCUMENT:Q103487 04-NOV-1993 [W_NT]
TITLE :Changing the Keyboard Layout May Cause an Application Error
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you install a Keyboard Layout Dynamic Link Library (DLL) using
the Control Panel, International, Keyboard Layout option, and you
specify the wrong location (based on hardware platform, such as x86
versus MIPS) for the driver to install from, an application error may
occur instead of a warning message indicating an incorrect driver. If
the wrong driver is already on the system, the application error
occurs as soon as you choose the new Keyboard type.
RESOLUTION
==========
To install the correct driver, you must first remove the MIPS layout
DLL from the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32 subdirectory. To determine which
file to remove, refer to the [Files-Layout] and [OptionsTextEng]
section of the LAYOUT.INF file in the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32
subdirectory.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. From Control Panel, select the International option.
2. Change the Keyboard Layout to Swiss French.
3. When you are prompted for the location of the new driver, type the
directory name for the MIPS tree on the Windows NT CD-ROM.
4. The files will copy and then you will receive the following error
message:
SETUP.EXE
Exception: (<memaddress>), Address: <memaddress>
where <memaddress> is an 8 digit hex number.
If the MIPS layout DLL has already been installed, you will receive
the following error message instead:
CONTROL.exe
Exception: (<memaddress>), Address: <memaddress>
where <memaddress> is an 8 digit hex number.
