SYMPTOMS
If you select the United Kingdom (UK) keyboard Layout from Control Panel International, the right-hand ALT key (also known as the AltGr Key) will not work as expected. By selecting the UK keyboard layout you should be able to hold down the right-hand ALT key and select any vowel (a, e, i, o, and u) and the accent character (') should appear over the vowel you selected. For example, when you press Right ALT+A, [ASCII 225] should appear. Instead, no output appears.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.51. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
