 * }

Q85181

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

-

SUMMARY
When you run an MS-DOS-based application (including MS-DOS Prompt) from Windows version 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode, keyboard input may be remapped to incorrect characters if the following line is in the [386enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file:

  Device=CPBVXD.386 For the keyboard to work correctly, either remove this line or place a &quot;;&quot; in front of it.

MORE INFORMATION
Central Point Backup for Windows version 7.2 adds the virtual device driver CPBVXD.386 to the [386enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. This driver does not replace any device drivers internal to Windows, and can be removed without affecting the functionality of Windows.

To correct the keyboard mapping problem, change the following line

  Device=CPBVXD.386 to:

  ;Device=CPBVXD.386 This disables the driver, and Central Point Backup, from working in 386 enhanced mode.
