Hi, I'm fairly new to Netware but something odd seems to be happening. Trying to use the "LOAD KEYB" command to set a new keyboard type, and get an "INIT FAIL". Is there any way i can get more info on the error from Netware 6? Am i missing a component, or typing the wrong stuff? I've tried "LOAD KEYB UNITED KINGDOM" too.

Thanks, Nick

PS sorry for posting this originally in the netware 5 forum :eek:
 
Well, you seem to have it right.

When you just type in KEYB.NLM, then it will fail to load because you need to specify they keyboad mapping type.

By typing in LOAD KEYB UNITED KINGDOM it should set it (note: will only load once). What is the exact error message you get when you type it in this way?

Here is the documentation on the command.

Thanks, just noticed the console output, this might shed some light:-
