Answer 1

Hi there.

Well, here's what you can do: go to Start Menu>Run... and type in (of course, without the quotation marks) "osk.exe", which is short for 'On Screen Keyboard.exe'. If you don't trust me ("I don't know what osk.exe might do to my computer!!!"), here's the harder (for me to type) path: Start Menu>Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>On Screen Keyboard-- and there you are!

That word after "accessories" is supposed to be "accessibility"; yahoo answers is having a problem.

For more advanced features within this app (which I found but don't know how to use), you should refer to "Help".

I didn't see anything about printing, once the keyboard appears on your screen, you can press the "print scr" or "print screen" key on your keyboard (okay.. you'll *have the keyboard layout in front of you--both on screen and physically*, so it shouldn't be too hard to find! LOL); next, immediately open an image editing app like "Paint" (Start Menu>Programs>Accessories>Paint) and under File Menu>Edit select "paste" and you'll have your screen's image "printed" as an image. You can print that from Paint's file menu.

Is that good enough for ya? [*laughs*]

i imagine that is already equipped-in yet you want to 'turn on' it (i don't have XP so i will purely you ought to be as close as accessible): visit regulate panel, and click on 'classic view' on the left, then click on an icon that asserts some thing on the breaking point of 'area and language'. visit the keyboards and languages tab, and click 'change keyboards...', then click upload, decide on the arabic keyboard, and then click ok for all the residing house windows, and then, on the taskbar, you would possibly want to work out some thing close to the little icons on the right which says EN or AR, if it says AR then you actually're typing in arabic, and if it says EN, you may click on it and adjust it to arabic. I used to have an same problem yet now I have a larger one....my keyboard wouldn't have the arabic letters on it X( must have idea-about that previously procuring the laptop.
