To be able to toggle different keyboard types on ms xp, you can go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Language and regional settings

Then on the ‘Language’ tab, click ‘Details’, and then there should be a button at the bottom of the page, called something like ‘Input schema taskbar’. There you can choose to display the language icon in the task bar.

By going back to the previous window, click the button ‘Add…’. You can select the language you want from a list.

Once this is done, you should be able to choose the languages you added by using the icon in the task bar (usually at the bottom right part of the screen).

I hope this helps somewhat. The names of the windows and buttons may not be exactly the same as what I just mentioned because the system I use is not installed in English.

Michael L,
thank you for your lovely comment! Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about Windows systems. Maybe someone else will chime in on here and explain how to do it?

Michael,
nie ma za co!

Droga Anna,

I need information as to how I can use MS XP so I can toggle the keyboard for the Polish characters as I did with the older MS systems.My granddaughters want me to write in Polish, but I do not want to do that and not spell the words correctly.
I enjoy your additional Polish language information.
I am planning to return to Olsztyn and Rewal and my charming beautiful Polish wife and to continue teaching English at the various schools, institutions and individuals all for gratis.
Thank you,
Michael
