    Hi,

    I was advised to post this query within this forum from the welcome area.

    I have the ever recurring windows update problem associated with KB936181 "Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB936181) may repeatedly appear in the update list on Microsoft Update or on Windows Update" see here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941729/ for the very simple remedy. Type one line with a few backslashs in it then re download the patch. Problem is I have a wireless logitech keyboard of US origin which requires a switch to US International region settings to produce the backslash symbol. However it does not produce a backslash in command prompt, which is required for the simple remedy to this annoying repeat request to install this windows update.

    Does anyone know how to generate a backslash symbol in command prompt via a kooky keyboard such as this?

    Cheers to all

    You might try the onscreen keyboard. Start-Programs-Accesories-Accessibility-On Screen Keyboard. Good luck!

    I was just messing with that idea as you replied. After switching it to a bigger key layout it does indeed offer a backslash that works in cmd prompt. Problem solved. Many thanks Fred_G
