    Re: Keyboard Input override?

If it's your college, you can also argue that it would help students in foreign language classes (I can't imagine trying to compose a document in a foreign script using Character Map).
    I was unaware of it was a part of the ADA, if I'm unable to get this to work I will probably go have a talk with my teacher... ( My teacher used to be an IT guy there and is a friend ^_^ )...

    I'm not really sure if they intentionally blocked it out or honestly what is wrong with it... I can go to regional, I can go to my keyboard and I can add the keyboard in... The problem I have is that when I change it to Dvorak default, it doesn't actually change the keyboard layout ><... I'm not really sure if it is a vista bug or if it is a block they put so people wouldn't mess around with the option just for fun... I'm honestly really glad to know that it is in the ADA, for a while I thought that I wouldn't have anything to prove they need to add the functionality in :P.

    I'm gunna take a look at AutoIt ( It looks like fun ^_^ ) and thanks for the post...
