#255 - 1999-08-04 11:16 AM Keyboard stops working at Win95 logon after using KiXtart
Anonymous
Unregistered


Hi all

When I run a KiXtart script on our 95 clients and then subsequently log off that machine, when I try and log on again the keyboard doesn't work properly!

The TAB key works, as do the Delete and Enter keys, but I cannot type anything into the username, password or domain fields. Very strange! I have to reboot the machine to be able to log in again.

If I then log in using the normal NT batch file (without KiXtart) it works again, so KiXtart seems to be the problem.

Has anyone else come across this? It only affects Win95 clients - NT clients are fine. It's a tad annoying as I'd love to roll out our new KiXtart logon script but can't! Would the replacement msnet32.dll do anything?

Many thanks,

Matt

I have the same problem but we can log on and off for about 3 times and than it goes wrong. I thought it was some of our applications but it looks like its Kixtart?

I had this happen to me years ago on my home PC (which was networked using Win95 peer-peer) but I never even used KiXtart then. It only occurred with my user profile, not anyone elses.

However, in this case it always occurs when KiXtart is used on a Win95 machine.

I'll try the Windows Network API Library update from MS (MSNETUPD.EXE) to see if that makes any difference...

Found out it's due to the current user's keyboard language.

The default keyboard language and regional settings for the default user of each PC are set to English (British).

However, if a user logs in and has English(United States) as their default keyboard layout, log out, log in and then log out again, the keyboard does not work properly at the next login! How strange!! This only occurs if KiXtart is being used.

The only way round it is to force users not to have English (United States) as their default keyboard. This generally isn't a problem except for some of our laptop users, although that will mean writing a script to do it.

Has anyone else come across this problem? Is it only with English (British) or with other settings?

Hi same problem we have had. Microsoft comes
with some sort of a path for this problem...
Some sort of a user.exe path.
But do not offer any garanti: as usual :-)
I can sent the fix to any-one or upload it
which I have't done before with this forum.
(so someone has to explain....)

regards Jeroen
