look at an US keyboard or change the language (using keyb.com) to match yours.

the @ is on top of the 2 on a US keyboard.

Thank you for your quick reply.

After I added the line in dosboc.conf;
[dos]
xms=true
ems=true
keyboardlayout=uk

Then shift+2 shows " (double quote). hurrah !!!
As for "\" , now I had to input "/" , but it worked for mounting the right directory "\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Rayman"

Now another problem; in setting key to uk, to input "=" what keystroke I have to use ? such as Rayman.exe ver=usa

Just a warning. Mounting folders in a system folders like the %ProgramFile% directory for old games can cause problems with permissions. It is recommended that you only mount folders that you have full write permissions, such as "C:\oldgames". This is why GOG now defaults to "C:\GOG Games" for its older games.

Yeah. RaymanForever2007 should move the RAYMAN folder in Program Files (x86)\UbiSoft\ to C:\DOSGAMES\RAYMAN or something and then use that one instead.
