SendKey problem with doubleused keys

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have an VB6 application which makes intensive use of Sendkeys. Sometimes
when a long string (filenames including pathname) is sent I found that often
one of the backslash characters is changed to its correspondent 'non Alt Gr'
character (which is 'ß' on my German keyboard, where backslash ist created
using Alt Gr).

Maybe this occures also on other Alt Gr characters but I could verify this
only in case of backslashes, and not at each backslash key, and not
reproducable. I'm not sure but I had the feeling that it happens more often
when memory is filled up with some more programs.

Using this app I also found that (at least sometimes) characters changed
from lower to upper case if Caps Lock is active at runtime, independent of
the real case of the string characters given to be sent. This looks to be
reproducable so it might be no bug but by design, I'm not sure.

Does anyone know of this problem and could me give a suggestion how to
handle this problem? Inserting a DoEvents didn't help.
