Yes I have widows vista home premium 32.bit
its not a laptop.
its so annoying 🙁 the keyboard works perfectly fine but not when i try to type the : or any other sign. They move around on the keyboard.
Any suggestions? 😀
Aha... Signs moving around your keyboard? Whatever you're taking, cut it down a bit.
Oh, and read the readme, especially the section conveniently labelled "Keyboard Layout".

I have the same problem, can't write :
I'm using a laptop with Vista and the language is portuguese.
Joao - try the command
KEYB PO
at the DOSBox prompt.

Switch your Vista keyboard layout to english.
Klimawandel.
IMO the keyboard layout is important enough to be selected at install time.
1+1=10
I agree. Nice idea.
Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
keyboard layout changes codepages as well.
might "break" some textmode like games.

How to ask questions the smart way!
> keyboard layout changes codepages as well.
Maybe if it didn't? On real DOS these were independent too. I.e german doesn't really need cp 850, the important characters are in cp437 too.

I.e german doesn't really need cp 850
default+preferred codepage is 850/852
I am having the same problem. i have a vista laptop and i am not able to push the "\" button.

it's a vista 64 bit the laptop is a pavilion tx2500z and if i'm corret the language is English.

I always removed it back in the day on my DOS and never had any problems...

But it's what most people used as it was the default. And yes it does not
work with certain apps of course.
Even if choosing a layout at install time does mess up some text screen it would be much less problematic than novice users not finding their : IMO. DOSBox is just not usable for those people after installation.
