msalcedocol Unfortunately, the only other thing I can suggest is that you try every key until an object raises or lowers itself.
msalcedocol I believe the game always uses the two keys after the letter P on the keyboard, regardless of the keyboard layout. For example, in the US layout, those are [ and ], while my keyboard has non-English letters instead. However, those keys still work for raising and lowering objects.
These are the controls for the US English layout, so you can see where [ and ] keys are located; try those keys regardless of what letter/symbol they are used for in your layout.

Also, keep in mind that not every object can be raised/lowered; I know the Prisoner of Azkalamp wall light can, so you can use that one to test things out.
mate54 thank you very much for your quick response; unfortunately, none of the keys work. ´ and +, which are the two keys after P, are unresponsive, and the original [ and ] keys also don't seem to work . i tried using an external keyboard with the same layout as the keyboard from the guide; everything works fine except for the lower & raise keys. i also used the windows 10 digital keyboard and, again, nothing.
is there something else we can try?
