musicgold Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi,I am trying to add the registry key given below in my machine’s registry. I tried the following steps, in vain.1. I put the key in a .reg file ( as per instructions here http://www.usnetizen.com/fix_capslock.php). However, when I tried to merge the file, I was getting this error message: The specified file is not a registry script file. 2. I also tried to import the file from with in the registry editor, but got the same error message.3. Finally, I tried to create the key manually. While I was able to create the value, I am not able to change its default values, i.e. all zeros. I made sure that the permissions related to the key. The user had full access to the key.[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Keyboard Layout]"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,29,00 ,0F,00,00,00,00,00How can I resolve this problem?My OS : Windows Vista, Home premium.Thanks.MG.
