The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

When you run an MS-DOS-based application (including MS-DOS Prompt) from Windows version 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode, keyboard input may be remapped to incorrect characters if the following line is in the [386enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file: 

   Device=CPBVXD.386
For the keyboard to work correctly, either remove this line or place a ";" in front of it.

MORE INFORMATION

Central Point Backup for Windows version 7.2 adds the virtual device driver CPBVXD.386 to the [386enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. This driver does not replace any device drivers internal to Windows, and can be removed without affecting the functionality of Windows.

To correct the keyboard mapping problem, change the following line 

   Device=CPBVXD.386
to: 

   ;Device=CPBVXD.386
This disables the driver, and Central Point Backup, from working in 386 enhanced mode.
