Yes, XP Prof., no Service Pack

c:\>ver
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

I attached the logfile of spy++

I pushed:
altgr (holding down) - 3x backsl - release altgr : out \\\
altgr (holding down) - 3x backsl - release altgr : out \\\
altgr (holding down) - 3x backsl - release altgr : out <nothing>

bye
