windows xp keyboard layouts...

    I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

    My version of windows xp doesn't have the "irish" keyboard layout and the @ sign is on "shift+2" , and the " is on "shift+@" (which needs to be pressed twice for some reason to get the first one [and the second one!] to come up!) because i'm now set to US.

    It started as a minor inconvenience and just really got on my nerves!!

    Does anyone know how I can get this layout online?

    I tried using "Keyboard Layout Creator" to create the layout from scratch but I just get an error when i try to build a dll and setup package:

    CL.EXE returned 1
    RC.EXE returned 1
    LINK.EXE returned 1

    any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks in advance,
    -J

    Why don't you just set it up for the UK keyboard layout which is the same.

    I don't think it is - Alt-Gr plus any vowel will give you an acute accent on the Irish keyboard. But I've never seen a version of Windows XP that didn't have the Irish layout. Jonathanpbk, do you mean that the Irish layout isn't installed or that it isn't offered to you when you look to install a new layout?

    thanks for the quick replies!

    actually, my version of xp is an extremely cut down version called Lamerxp and it doesnt even have the uk layout anyway!!

    its not included on the disc or in the install.

    k, so anyone else have any ideas!?

    yeah -
    go out and buy a copy of XP.

    Legit versions come with keyboard drivers.

    Just because you consider something to be extortionately priced doesn't give you the right to use the SW without paying the microsoft Tax.
