Isn't that default Windows behaviour? If something doesn't work, jusr delete it. It will come back.

Well, not sure about that - I had this condition once and it was extremely annoying because I do sometimes use Russian layout, so having 3rd American was pissing me off greatly: every time I would delete it after boot, it will get added next time, really annoying stuff - disappeared after complete reinstall.

I wonder what the text of the BSOD is yng Nghymraeg...

Dunno what it is now but the next in the next release it will be:

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

Welsh? Oh FFS!

You're right.

Actually it said "Cymru".

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

There is an interesting condition in WinXP which is when you delete keyboard layout, it will somehow get recreated automatically later for no reason

No problems running IE7 here, on Windows XP x64... in fact it's rather faster than the others at rendering.

Another reason to switch to Firefox and not use IE.

What has this got to do with IE, its an XP problem? Happened to loads of times, even without Firefox.

I've installed IE7 (and was running the beta) and never got asked anything about keyboards, languages, etc. and I had a mixture of German and US english hardware and software.

I have it installed and have not noticed any problems with it here. I do use firefox 2.0 for most things however, for the occasional site that doesn't want to work in firefox i look at it in IE (e.g. microsoft update, etc).


One nice thing it does do is support transparent PNG's. About bloody time too !!!!!

Sounds like Zeitghosts little "chat" with Bill did the trick

Just installed IE7 and it decided that I wanted two language choices: Welsh using a UK keyboard or English using a US keyboard (but the keyboard selection is not obvious).

Assuming you dont want to change to firefox, does the panel recommend NOT upgrading to IE7.0 for now?

On the basis that if it aint broke dont fix it and assuming you have no pressing business need to do it, I wouldnt touch it with the proverbial pole for at least 12 months.

Let some other suckers, I mean cutting edge early adopters, take all the risks and find the bugs for you.

Don't know much about IE7 but definitely a Firefox fan ...

Just installed Firefox 2.0 Runs like a dream.

Just installed IE7 and it decided that I wanted two language choices: Welsh using a UK keyboard or English using a US keyboard (but the keyboard selection is not obvious).

Obviously, I didn't want Welsh so when I did the necessary reboot I couldn't log back on again as my password contains a character the is in a different place on UK keyboard.

I've now got the system back to a UK keyboard for after I log on, but the damn thing still insists that I have a US keyboard before I log on.

What a of pile of kack.

(Though suprisingly, it kept all my options from inside IE and didn't turn back on all the annoying features, like search from address bar that I had turned off)
