Cntrl + L brings up control panel and I don't want it to .. help please?

DANGIT it's not Cntrl +L please readon for actual issue ... sorry it serves me right for trying to post this at work.

I have an IPAC4 and when I try to play any 4 player game like Gauntlet or Rampage World Tour I can ring in 4 players but as soon as the games start and we start pounding buttons the game pauses, flickers and brings up the control panel screen. Pressing L again resumes the game.

I read the online docs : View control panel while MAME is playing

It says Keyboard is L and I'm using an IPAC4 which is in essence a keyboard right? But yet the docs say the IPAC is incapable of viewing the control panel right? I'm confused I guess.

So I am using the default MAME32 setting and P3 Right is L so do you see the problem?

This does not occur if playing through Mame32 outside of GameEx. It happens with 0.105 and 0.106

How in the heck do I stop this from happening as I'm getting crabby again LOL!!!!?????

Any help appreciated - a crabby ole man

Go into the configuration program. Under "Advanced MAME Settings", the second line is "Ingame CP View VK". Either take out all the information on this line, or change it using the proper code found in "C:\Program Files\GameEx\CONFIG\EMULATORS\VKCodes.htm" (or wherever GameEx is installed).

The code on that line is 76. I have removed it so there is nothing on that line now. The problem still persists..... hitting L activates that Control Panel menu. I then revisited that option and set the value to zero. Tried again and now it works perfectly thank you for your advise as it pointed me in the right direction.
