Aptiva - Setting keyboard to use Danish in Windows 95/98 DOS mode
Applicable to: Denmark
Description:
Windows 95/98 DOS mode does not support the Danish keyboard layout.
Models Affected:
All Danish models.
Explanation:
The preloaded autoexec.bat and config.sys files do not contain the necessary lines to activate Danish
keyboard support.
Workaround:
1. Click Start -> Run .
2. Enter sysedit .
3. Click OK .
4. Select the autoexec.bat window.
5. Add the following lines:
MODE CON CODEPAGE PREPARE=((850) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\EGA.CPI)
MODE CON CODEPAGE SELECT=850
KEYB DK,,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\KEYBOARD.SYS
6. Select the config.sys window.
7. Add the following line:
COUNTRY=045,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\COUNTRY.SYS
8. Click File -> Save .
9. Exit the System Configuration Editor .
10. Shutdown and Restart the system. The Danish keyboard layout will now work in DOS mode.
The lines which were added to autoexec.bat may also be added to the c:\windows\dosstart.bat file, which
would load the commands when you restart in MS-DOS mode from Windows.
