You certainly know this, of course, but just in case I will ask - no Polish letters appear if you press ctrl and shift on the left side of the keyboard at the same time? If once didn't help, try both the second and the third time. The combination of these keys switches the keyboard layouts.

Have you ever thought of checking a different keyboard? The right ALT may not work.
Open a few windows and check how the right ALT + ESC combination works.

Check the Polish characters on the on-screen keyboard.

What keyboard driver (keybrdx.sys, where x is a number) is loaded from the config.sys file?

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

You can check it with a notebook or see it on the computer screen while booting. The code page is supposed to be 852.

Hi! There is a line in the config.sys file with keybrd2.sys (or keybrd4.sys) I do not remember exactly, restore it in config, restart the computer and see what happens.

Try it like this: control panel / regional and language options / languages / details / Polish developer.

Chrisses · Answer

the combination of ctrl and shift did not help, but I will probably try to reinstall windows and I hope that it will help, and if not, I will try something else

Chrisses · Answer

I reinstalled Windows 98 and nothing helped, I changed the keyboard and nothing helped either. I checked in a text program and with the help of ALT + s I do not write (s) - here I am writing because I am writing from another computer. while he writes ś, ć, ż, ź, ó etc. on the keys [,], ',; , /,. , =, -. How to change it ??
Help !!!!!!!!!

Chrisses · Answer

And how do you have to check it ?? 'Cause I'm a teaser at this ???

Chrisses · Answer

He writes to me in config.sys: Country = 048,852 Added after 3 [minutes]: However, keybrd.sys does not write anything to me in the config.sys file

jankolo · Answer

I will repeat the question: What keyboard driver (keybrdx.sys, where x is a number) is loaded from the config.sys file?

Anonymous · Answer

In fact, the keybrd4.sys gets loaded with Autoexec.bat.

The autoexec entry should look something like this:

mode con codepage prepare=((852) c:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi
mode con codepage select=852
keyb pl,,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keybrd4.sys

Chrisses · Answer

nothing says anything about the keybrd (x) .sys file in config.sys

jankolo · Answer

Friend Marcin230 he is right. My mistake - of course it is in autoexec.bat. I apologize to my friends for making a fuss.

Chrisses · Answer

the file autoexac.sys contains the file keybrd2.sys code page 852 Added after 53 : sorry for the autoexac.bat file

tzok · Answer

The settings in autoexec / config do not affect Windows 9x, only the MS-DOS / MS-DOS Window mode!
In the regional settings of Windows itself, you need to change the keyboard layout from Poland (214) to the programmer's Polish - if it is set so, change it to any other, apply and change it again. Uninstall all other systems (including En-US).

Anonymous · Answer

Change the entry in notepad or any editor to keybrd4.sys, save the file and restart the computer.

Before that, you can check if there is a keybrd4.sys file in C: \ WINDOWS \ COMMAND \, but it should be there. If it is not there, copy it from the boot floppy disk.

Anonymous · Answer

And if I ask about the simplest thing - from which side of the keyboard do you press alt? Right or left?

Chrisses · Answer

I checked in the regional settings but it does not work
do you have a keybrd4.sys file somewhere ??? :)

Added after 46 [seconds]:

on the right, I hit alt on the right, on the right

Added after 3 [minutes]:

and there is a program in which you can determine that after pressing a key, a character appears ????

tzok · Answer

Give up the keybrd4.sys file because it has no effect on the Windows keyboard layout - checked many times. Only if during the installation of the system the keybrd4 is not loaded or the keybrd2 is loaded, Windows will set the typist layout.
But if the programmer's layout is set in Windows and the keybrd2 driver is loaded in autoexec, then in Windows there will be Polish letters with Alt, and in the DOS window according to the typist / Mazovia layout.

I have the original Win 98 installation CD, in one of the zipped files I found this file. The name is correct, it's 100% from the original Windows 98 CD. If that's important, it's a file from the DRIVER11.CAB archive
But this is the version from the installation CD (make a backup of your original file).
I can also put the contents of the floppy disk that was originally together with the CD. Before the CD started, you had to insert a floppy disk.

Chrisses · Answer

what should i do

tzok · Answer

If it does not help you, I will send you the files responsible for the keyboard layout in Windows 98, along with configuration entries in the registry / .ini files.

Anonymous · Answer

It's me, maybe from a different barrel, because keybrd4.sys tzok is a bit right (though not entirely).

What is this keyboard like? QWERTY or maybe some other (arrangement of letter keys from the upper left corner)? There was always a problem with the keys?

tzok · Answer

Of course, for the sake of peace of mind change this entry to keybrd4.sys and add this file so that you can normally use the DOS console.

Chrisses · Answer

unfortunately it didn't help (it's starting to piss me off) :( Added after 3 [minutes]: Yes, the keyboard layout is QWERTY

Anonymous · Answer

And in DOS you have normal now after changing the file?

tzok · Answer

Then I will either give you the original Windows files with the configuration tomorrow, or install it: or this:

the computer does not write Polish characters (ć, ź, ó, ś etc.).
