    		     Latin America Keyboards Not Recognized

    PROBLEM

    The keyboards on Latin America configured systems may not be recognized.

    CAUSE

    The KEYB.COM command may be misplaced in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

    SOLUTION

    Verify that the following line

         KEYB LA,,C:\DOS\KEYBOARD.SYS

    appears in the AUTOEXEC.BAT immediately above C:\WINDOWS\WIN.

    Example:

         MODE CON CODEPAGE PREPARE=((850) C:\DOS\EGA.CPI)
         MODE CON CODEPAGE SELECT=850
         KEYB LA,,C:\DOS\KEYBOARD.SYS
         C:\WINDOWS\WIN

    SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    All Latin America systems with Windows for Workgroups 3.11 could possibly be
    affected.
