SYMPTOMS

Under the German version of Windows NT 4.0, the parameter for SwapMouseButtons is not recognized and, therefore, must be reset each time the user logs on.

CAUSE

The USER API was set to recognize "yes" and, therefore, does not recognize localized strings.

WORKAROUND

The fix for the swap mouse buttons function is in Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 2 and later.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.00. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 4.00. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
