Wrong Keyboard Boot Language

[STLSailor]

In Win98 2nd Ed. when the network password screen appears, the French keyboard is always selected. I want the US keyboard selected. I have set the US as default, deleted the French...nothing seems to work. Even with no French keyboard in Windows, the French keyboard always is active at boot time. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks.

config.sys/autoexec.bat settings?

This is what I show...

AUTOEXEC.BAT FOLLOWS

@PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\PROGRA~1\WIN98RK;%PATH%
@ECHO OFF

PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\PROGRA~1\WIN98RK;C:\QTW\BIN;C:\MSOFFICE\OFFICE

for uk machine (as after setup)

autoexec

mode con codepage prepare=((850) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=850
keyb uk,,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sys

config

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\setver.exe
device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=044,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys

Not sure this doesn't just affect dos (not windows) - but could try. Think codepage is 437 not 850 for US, and country is 001 not 044 (but you might want to check that - not an area of expertise for me!)
