You need to go to the windows control panel, regional settings. Check there.

John,

I am using Service Mode program. I checked. I do not see Language & layouts.
I see General Extra ports, Video, Administration. I cannot find something
you mentioned.

Default language and keyboard issue.
When logged in as user X the location settings (keyboard layout, language
etc) belong to that user. Once you try and do anything with elevated
permissions such that a little box jumps up and asks for the Administrator
password, the location profile has now changed from the User X profile to
the default profile. If the keyboard layout is different, like for example
the difference between the UK keyboard layout and the USA keyboard layout,
you may find you can't login. This depends on what characters are contained
in your password.

We had this problem with initial logins and with freesshd logins, both of
which use the default location settings, which by mistake were UK. The UK
keyboard as the "@" character in a different spot than the USA keyboard so
we could never login. Took us two months to figure this out.

You need to go to your language and keyboard settings and ensure that the
default is the same as the user setting.

Good luck.
John

Hello, Everybody,

I hope this e-mail finds you well. My friend and I use TightVNC version
2.7.0 for Windows, both are Windows 7 operating system. When I logged into
my friend's system to do a remote control to help my friend with Google Talk
problem, and I cannot seem to get it to work. I logged on as my username &
password in a "private Browsing" (Firefox). I've noticed I could not enter
my password correctly. I tried holding down caps key and hit any letter. I
discovered that I cannot get capitalized letter to show up. (My password
contained caps sensitivity).  So, I went to my notepad and typed a note to
my friend and she typed herself. Fine. I tried to type my own message like
"Hello!" And wow, capital "H" showed up. Something really strange happening
with TightVNC.

Does anyone have a problem with capitalization from the remote keyboard?
Local keyboard is fine as long as my friend can type normally.

Let me know.

Thank you.

~Johnny :)
