Keyboard inop

Postby Falcon Fixer » Mon Jan 18, 2010 5:25 pm

Out of a clear blue sky, my keyboard does not accept keystroke commands.... i.e. I can't change the view(the w key), can't pause (the p key), function keys inop, esc key inop. Joystick works fine. What happened? Changed keyboards and still inop. Tried FSX and keyboard works fine. DUH!

Keyboard works fine for e-mail and notepad and all. Just FS9 won't take keystrokes. Crazy!

Have you tried resetting the Computer, and then reloading the Sim?

I've rebooted the computer and restarted FS9 several times. Lord I don't want to reinstall FS9. I've got too much add-on stuff in it. :'(

Rename your FS9.cfg to FS9.BAK

Restart FS9

try going to SETTINGS / ASSIGNMENTS -- RESET DEFAULTS


at times my FS9 does not want to take certain key commands and it is because it somehow gets amnesia and forgets.
