Does it do the same thing outside of GameEx?

Check within Future Pinball preferences under the key settings and see what it's set to.

found it Under Vista/Windows 7 be sure to run Future Pinball as administrator.

hmmmmm maybe try re-installing Future Pinball again and see if it clears the problem. I had a similar issue kinda, but I had an issue with Display Fusion that stole the focus from my monitor 1 display so future pinball wouldn't detect my key presses unless I clicked the mouse button on monitor 1 then everything worked fine. So I just removed Display Fusion from running at startup.

I would just try installing it over current installation without removing it first and see what happens.

I just ran it as administrator and all is good

I'll mark this as resolved.

Just to chime in about Display Fusion, I have it, use it, run it on start up and it doesn't cause any problems with any of my emulators whatsoever (including but not limited to Future Pinball). Just saying.

Good spot wobbly, I would have suggested the same as this was my first hurdle when I set up FP. Have fun, it's a great emulator.

Glad it solved your issue. Not sure why you have to do that as my system runs it just fine on win 7 x64 without that checked, but then again everyone's computers always run differently.
