Re: Re Xy on VISTA--sleep mode

["andy turnbull" andyt@xxxxxxxx]

some troubles with xy using specific keystrokes are caused by a different
processor, with different "stepping." Years ago I tried to shift from a
Compaq presario, that ran xy perfecfty, to a compaq armada -- which was
virtually useless. Both puters were running Windows 98. My xy is highly
customized -- it started out as Times xy, (keyboard written for the new york
times) and was further customized for my use.

Most of the keys that would not work were custom functions,

Give us some details. How are you launching? If a shortcut, what are the
properties? Check esp. Working Directory; has to be the one where
editor.exe and startup.int are.
If any of the keystrokes are Alt- combination ones, lots of them are
preempted by Windows. You may need to edit your keyboard file, depending
on what you've changed from the out-of-the-bos version. And many laptops
(someone was having a problem with an HP one recently) have proprietary
keyboard BIOSes.
Anyone with ideas (and experience with Dells, which I avoid like the
plague) please chime in. I'm willing to help but horrendously busy for the
next few days. And Jay, please give us details.
