    ASCII not working

    Hi,

    My mother installed Win2k a month ago, on her pc, and it all worked great. But suddenly a lot of ASCII codes don't work anymore. For example, if my mother types ALT + 129, nothing happens, but ALT + 130 does work.

    Is there a way to 're-install' the ASCII's?

    Just had a look at the Windows ascii chart - 129 is not supported by windows.

    For the best list in MSDN/Vb help, look in the index for "Ascii character set", then select both "character set" options that come up

    just realised I've copied it to an Excel sheet for nicer printing (1 page, rather than the 4 if you print straight from MSDN)

    Oh guys, one last question: How comes ALT-129 DOES work on Win98 but not Win2k? Why has it been changed?

    no idea... maybe it's just a different font - some of them use the characters that are normally not used (try wingdings)
