Interesting Situation. Now I know why there is a keyboard button in the login screen of Windows 7.I know this probably won't help, but I'll show you this article anyway:"Using Arabic language on the Logon screen" < http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884654 >If your computer is XP Pro, I'm hoping that you might gain access to it by networking it to another XP Pro machine and using "Remote Desktop Connection" to login to it over the network from the other machine and set it up properly. With any luck, the keyboard of the connecting machine will be used for login information. Remote Desktop: Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Remote Desktop Connection.If that doesn't work, my next attempt would be to boot the computer from a CD such asBart PE or Ultimate Boot CD for Windows , fire up "regedit", load C:\Windows\System32\Config\default as a hive under HKEY_USERS, and edit the key: Keyboard Layout\Preload\1 to the code that represents Arabic and then unload the hive.Be extremely careful as mis-editing the registry files can lock you out of your computer even worse.As a last resort, try the following procedure taking care at the end to choose a restore point that is time-wise before you changed the keyboard."How to recover from a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting" < http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545 >HTH, JW
