Keyboard layout problem

Hi,

I have a problem with keyboard layouts on a Windows Server 2003 with SP2 (all updates installed). Regardless of which keyboard layout a user selects, either on the server console or in a terminal session on the server, it is still the US English keyboard layout when typing on the keyboard.

The keyboard layout indicator in the system tray shows that the user has changed layouts, it for example switches between EN, SV, DA if the user has these layouts installed and swithes between them with Alt+Shift, but still the US English layout when typing.

I even tried to install MS Keyboad Layout creator and create a new keyboard layout. Everything fine, no errors or warnings, but still after installing the new layout and selecting it, it is still the US English layout. An interesting thing maybe is that if I on this machine try to import an existing keyboard layout into MSKLC it always gives me the US English layout, regardless of which layout I select in the list of installed layouts. That happens even if I import keyboard layouts I have created myself.

If I open the source file for the layout it is correct however. If I have opened a MSKLC source file I can test the keyboad layout in the test dialog within the program and the keyboard layout works as expected there, but not when I actually install it in Windows.

I am a little lost about what to do here actually, anyone have any idea about what could have gone wrong on this server?
