[H] No keyboard in DOS Full Screen on WINXP SP3

[nobozoz]

I have some WIN2k SP4 and WINXP SP2 systems where my DOS program works 
perfectly fine after it opens in Full Screen, but in WINXP SP3, the 
program displays fine, but ordinary (single alphanumeric) keyboard entry 
is unresponsive.


WINDOWS' CTRL+KEY and ALT+KEY combinations DO work, however.

I'm baffled. Any suggestions?

Thanx,

Jim

Yeah, Intel has been in the news a lot lately and their poor decisions 
are costing them dearly. Japan, Korea and now the EU have concluded that 
they are anti-competitive. Next year I believe AMD will get their shot 
in court and I predict that Intel will again be held accountable. 
Imagine all the money that AMD lost over the past 5 years because of 
Intel's bribes to PC makers. Beginning to look like the GM of the 
semiconductor world minus the threat of bankruptcy of course.

I do find it entertaining that Intel has been forced to go back and add VT
to a bunch of their lower-end chip lines (like the Pentium Dual-Core), since
those are fairly popular in your run-of-the-mill business PC. I always hated
that they used VT as a product differentiator.

Well I'm still new to it but XP mode won't work with Furmark or Crisis
because of 3D acceleration issues. Furmark won't load at all and forces
me to reboot to get my desktop back and Crisis has large black streaks
running vertically down from the top of the screen. Good idea though.

Anyone use any free tools to recover the local admin password from a win2k 
advanced server box?  Can't connect the box to the network, and no one 
remembers the local admin password.

Thanks!

Be careful - that compatability mode requires a specific
virtualization technology that isn't found in all CPUs.

Bigger problem for people is still the same.  Some drivers (xp drivers) will 
not install in vista/win7.  So, for example, dentists who camera shot hardware 
can't upgrade past xp right now because no driver support.

I think the biggest problem will be supporting (effectively) two OS's
on the system. I can see the support headaches now...

Do not misunderstand, Win7 should kick the Vista in the ass hard.

Shame people can't take the time to just verify the hash with the official
site.

I was psyched to load it on my Lenovo x200t tablet but then found there were
several drivers not available yet, including for audio and the tablet
functions.  But I can't wait to get it working.
