Hi,

does anyone has an idea whats wrong when the backslash key is not working when connected through remote desktop?

Client: Windows XP, English, German Keymap

Server: Windows 2003

Bye, Egon

I dont have this menu listed infront of me but what happens when you click Start > All Programs > Accessories and under one of the folders you may have an option called Character map or something which displays a keyboard layout - does that do anything different?

Your keyboard layout is incorrect on the remote machine, it does not match the keyboard of the machine your are using to connect with.

On the remote machine, simply go to Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages -> Details... and setup your keyboard layout to match the one one your local computer.
