ipac and keyboard probs

[falkensmaze]

Hii recently hooked my ipac up to my cab with a temp CP and had no probs USB keyboard and USB ipac both worked no probs but today i have had a night mare my controls and keyboard work both with windows but not when gameex is running the only buttin that works is the windows button. (the USB wireless mouse works fine) I have tried reinstalling gammex and .net2 a few times but no luk the only joy i had was when i put gameex in a new DIR and the controls worked for 20 seconds then died, i have a hunch it started due to a MS auto update but not sure can anyone help me pls

cheers

Sounds like a tricky problem to solve, but the next step is posting your full log. Also did this first occur before upgrading GameEx to the latest version?

Almost sounds like explorer.exe is on top of gameex. I would do a bit of testing. Open notepad, jam on your cp keys to make sure that you're getting entries, then open gameex and begin jamming on your keys again. You'll know that its working when you exit gameex.

For this to work you might have to do one of two things:

1) Keyboard method: Immediately after launching gameex, quickly alt-tab back to Notepad before you see the gameex loading page. Now notepad is on top, not gameex shortcut.

2) Mouse method: Just after double-clicking/launching gameex, click on notepad before you see the gameex loading page. Now notepad is on top, not gameex shortcut.

When you exit gameex, look to see if your notepad is full of new keys.

Good luck!
