This sounds similar; it might hold clues to solving your problem:

It appears to be an IBM/Lenovo issue.

Thanks everyone who answered this question. Carl and Jordan have understood what I mean by "key-board map." The problem is that I cannot invoke any of the U2 "macros" at the moment because my existing Help-key combination is already assigned either by Vista or by some other programme that gets loaded automatically. When I press my existing Help-key, i.e., Ctrl-Alt "down arrow", my screen display becomes a DOS box, turns upside-down and flips from left to right. So I cannot call-up anything from the U2 file. Clearly the Help-key code is not being read, or, at least, does not have priority. What I would have to do is re-assign the Help-key to a new combination of keys. But where do I find the key codes for a Think Pad X200 which will allow me to re-define the Help-key? Has anyone gotten XY4 + U2 to work with a Think Pad X200, or a recently marketed similar machine? Thanks, n advance. M.W. Poirier ----------------------------------------------------------------------- On Fri, 15 Jan 2010, Carl Distefano wrote:

there used to be a program where you press a key, and it prints the number. I don't know whether it worked only in dos, or windows too.
U2 includes similar tools. SCAN lets you press a key (or key combination) to find out its scan code. Or issue IDKEY, and then press a key to move to the line in the KeyBoarD file associated with the depressed key. You then have the option to dit the KBD file. Maben, hope this helps. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxx
