I've been having some problems with my view keys...let me describe it for you...

ok, when I'm in the plane, I use the number pad to look around, and all of a sudden, it seems like some of the keys won't work together, example: the back and up look keys are supposed to combine to look back and up at the same time, but they won't. Also, when looking backwards, the key that moves the pilot's head to the left does not work... I've tried remapping, but no good, I've tried unplugging the keyboard, but no good.

Anyone ever had some similar problems? Know how to fix it? Plz help me.

I once had a similar issue when I constantly pressed the shift button for 5-10 times. It asked me if I wanted to use or disable a certain feature. I selected to "disable" the feature so it wouldn't happen again. All it did was activate a "key filter" to prevent the computer from accepting repeated keyboard keys from being pressed in a certain amount of time.

I finally found out how to disable it, if this feature is on in your computer and is active, you'll find an option for it on your desktop in the right lower hand corner of your screen. There will be a small icon for the key filter and you can turn it off from there.:aok

It's possible the keypad itself just isn't able to support multiple key presses at once.  I know the older keyboards couldn't support much more than two simultaneous keystrokes.

Go on the web and search for your particular brand/model keypad and see what it says about it.  Good luck.
