Hello

i'm having problems configuring the keyboard in my games.
the cursor keys wont work .... and keys also. this
happends only in games ... not otherwise in windows. i
think that it's a directinput issue .... but i don't know
what. i have the latest directx and all the latest
drivers for everything.

can enybody help me please ?
 
Hi Bogdan,

Let me share some suggestions that came to mind:

Make sure that the arrow keys are set for movement
in the game's input control panel. Each game is different,
and some only use WASD to move. Try the number
pad with and without the numlock on. Finally, change
to an English US regional setting / keyboard mapping.

running Win2000 and it worked without any problems.
 
Hi Bogdan,

Did you do a clean install of XP, or an upgrade over 2000?

Hi Bogdan,

Ok I'm glad to hear that. Simple upgrades can be problematic
sometimes. If you have time to try the suggestions I gave you,
feel free. They might help overcome an XP specific issue. :-)
