WinAPI LoadKeyboardLayout();

Question

I compile dll with VS2010 but I have problems with changing keyboard layout. I am running Windows 7.

GetKeyboardLayout(0); //Returns previous layout
LoadKeyboardLayout("00000409", KLF_ACTIVATE);
GetKeyboardLayout(0); //Returns 04090409 (English layout)

But the layout is NOT changed. One may say that I am doing something wrong but if I change "00000409" to any other language ID for example to russian "00000419" layout is changed perfectly. The problem occurs only with English layout.

The same problem occur when I use ActivateKeyboardLayout when all layouts are switched ok but english don't work.

What king of problem it can be?
