I need some help... Litestep is working fine for me (a newbie), except:
In Windows XP, when you want to switch to a different input language, the default hotkey is Shift+Alt. Now that I'm using Litestep, the hotkeys don't work anymore. Does Litestep overwrite them or something? I've tried unloading the hotkey modules but still it doesn't work. Any idea??? I don't want to quit using Litestep just because of this little obstacle.

this problem is most likely caused by you not using the explorer shell and those hotkeys being part of it.

Right... I'm not using the explorer shell now... Anyone knows a workaround for that problem?

littlebit different problem with changing languages:
i want to have the language changing icon in my systray. this is achieved with a file called internat.exe. under explorer it works fine, but during the ls startup it says that internat.exe has performed an illegal operation bla-bla-bla yada-yada-yada. How can this be fixed?

Egonz, are you using Win XP? I remember seeing internat.exe before, but now I can't find it...
And, do you mean you use a module to put internat.exe IN the system tray (it's originally beside the system tray)?

2 Egonz: internat.exe is only a keyboard layout indicator, so you can stop using it (Control Panel->Keyboard->Input Locales->Show indicator at taskbar). There are many alternative indicators (which are not only indicators %) ).

i'm using win98. in explorer it appears in the systray when i tell it to do so in the keyboard properties (like inform told). but in ls instead of appearing it creates an error.
i know i can make it dissapear via the keyboard properties but i still want an indicator of somekind. inform, could you tell me from where i can get an alternative indicator?

If you are really from Estonia, you can use RusLat
http://www.winapi32.narod.ru/ruslatexe.zip
If I mistaken or if you want to use any language except Estonian, English, Russian, Spanish, German, French, Latvian, Urkainian, Lithuanian - contact me(inform-sega@freemail.ru) or the author(e-vasil@yandex.ru) - it is very easy to add any other language (this program is not versatile, because it uses flags instead of standard chars for indication)...or just use any search-service as google.com and look for another tool %)...
