In a DOS box my keyboard enters e (with accent - French) over it when I press the slash (/) key. I realize that this is Canadian French keyboard.. But I have the keyb. configured in Windows for US English.
There is no problem in Windows; Only when open a DOS box within Windows. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, From Canada.

Under DOS, try typing

keyb US

for the US keyboard layout.

With command "keyb", you check the settings.

Hope this is helpful.

I assume the following:

- that the directory you open the DOS window is C:\WINDOWS (or whatever name you gave to WINDOWS default directory)
- keyb is in fact "keyb.com" command and you should find it inside c:\windows\command directory, unless you changed/deleted the file
- if you can't still find it, use FIND from start menu and try finding "keyb.com" on the partition that contains WINDOWS

I hope this really helps.
