    Hi.

    Back in XP I can easily add another language keyboard layout and configure it to change from EN to DE like Shift + Alt.

    Been looking around on Vista and I can't where I can the options for it? :cool:

    I want to be able type things like "ä" etc...

    Any help? Thanks.

    correct,
    but one still needs to activate the language input from within windows, if the installed version was different from it

    cheers ...
