Windows 2000 plays wonky with my keyboard. Any idea why?
For instance, I open Pinball and, after getting a new game with F2, pressing space (to launch the ball) does nothing except open that menu that pops up when you right click a window.
I open Notepad and I can't type words. If I press "o" it opens the "Format" menu. Which strikes me as odd.
(But really, just let me play Pinball. :D)
- jwandborg 9y agoSounds like Windows thinks you're pressing the Alt key all the time. Try pressing and releasing the Alt key when Windows has your keyboard focus.
- wolfgang42 9y agoMy psychic debugging skills tell me that the Alt key has gotten stuck down in the emulated machine. Try focusing on the emulator and hitting Alt a couple of times. (This can happen e.g. if you alt-tab away from the window: the emulator sees alt-down, but the alt-up happens in another window and the key stays stuck down in the emulator.)
- skytreader 9y agoThat sounds like a reasonable explanation, thank you. And it works! Now behold all the work I will not be doing today. :v
