Keyboard – Regional Settings Problem in XP

Dear BB members
I have got a very annoying problem, which I for once cannot solve myself nor with googling it.
I installed a newly downloaded version of XP *with SP3* from .
While installing it, I noticed that I could not select A German keyboard layout.
But I did not bother and thought I would be able to change it later under regional options… and I was wrong.
When I open START – Settings – Control Panel – Regional Options … etc.
I cannot choose a keyboard with German layout..
SCREENSHOT:

Is there any way I can install a German Keyboard Layout, even if windows does not show me the option?
Any help would be much appreciated..
..then I can start working without the character chart app…
Cheers, TP
Answer #1
I can change the inputlanguage to german(germany) , switserland, austria, liechtenstein, luxembourgh,…
maybe try one of them, it might work

Yes I can change the language, but I can only select US Keyboard layouts
If I choose German (Switzerland) I still get the same selection of US keyboards
Probably no one knows the solution to this
Next time I will install an original XP again
Answer #3
im not sure if this will help
but in the regional options
get into the languages tab and check both boxes
and hit apply
Answer #4
Sorry to say, but what you describe is exactly what I can not do
I can not choose any other keyboad layouts than US – even if I change tha language to german french whatever
Any help for installing ADDITIONAL keyboard layouts, and any clue where to get them from? Cheers, TP
