Need Help with Windows Language Fonts

Hi everyone

I’m running a Hebrew-enabled Windows 98SE operating system which switches the kbd to Hebrew characters when I press alt-shift. My problem is that when I use my computer I press alt-tab a lot to cycle thru programs, and when I do shift- alt-tab to go backward in the cycle, anything I type on the kbd comes out in Hebrew letters.

How can I tell Windows to not put me into Hebrew when I press “shift-alt-tab”? (I almost never need to type in Hebrew, so I don’t mind removing this feature, as long as when I need Hebrew I can just change things back to be the way they are now.)

By the way, I have the line BaseCodePage=850
in the Windows section of my win.ini file, which I thought would have solved this problem.

Thanks for your help.

P.S. When I go to to "control panel" > "keyboard" > "language", I have no "switch language" button which I've heard exists in other versions of Windows to enable one to set Control+Shift to switch between languages instead of Alt+Shift. What I do have there is an "add" button to add a new language, and a "remove" button to remove a languags, so I might be able to just remove the Hebrew and then later add it back when I need it. I'm just afraid to do this for fear I'll have no way of getting Hebrew characters back!

 

You could edit the registry to change the key mappings. I'm not familiar with 98SE since I never used that OS. I'm sure someone will come along that help more than I can.
