256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
A Terminal Server client running on a Microsoft Windows 95-based computer using the ABNT2 Brazilian keyboard layout may receive the following error message when attempting to log on to the Terminal Server:

The keyboard layout of requested language could not be opened. US English keyboard layout will be used instead. You may choose another layout from your Client Settings.

After you click Continue, the Terminal Server English keyboard layout is in use. This is true even if you only have the ABNT layout installed on the server or if you have multiple layouts installed and have the ABNT layout set as the default.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, only includes the ABNT keyboard layout. Terminal Server Edition does not include the ABNT2 keyboard layout (Windows 95 and Windows 98 include both).



WORKAROUND
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To work around this issue:  Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00010416

 On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:

Value Name: Layout File

Value Data: Kbdbr.dll

 Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00010416

 On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:

Value Name: Layout Id

Value Date: 0010

 Locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\00010416

</li> On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
