Stange beeps while doing this

What are the keys bound to this action? You may be hitting a command sequence for some background task by chance.

 

What have you changed/installed/removed recently? (ie just before you started having this trouble) - track back through those and you may find out.

And I thought there is a bug in DirectInput under Windows 98, in that it won't allow you to have more than three keys down at once; if you do, it would just beep and do nothing... That's not the case in Windows 95 - and I don't know about other OS'es.

Maybe in older versions of DirectX Pa3pyx, but I'm using Win98 myself and I have never had that particular problem. More likely it would be down to keyboard type...hmm...

 

George, What kind of keyboard are you using? Is it a USB, a PS/2 or an AT keyboard? If it's a USB or PS/2 keyboard have you tried moving it over to the other socket (if you have a converter)?

 

Also, we might be going down the wrong track with the keyboard queries - what about your mouse config? Anything in there that might be set oddly (an autofire option even, filling the command buffer?)
