Keyboard Not Working?
« on: November 28, 2008, 10:45:22 AM »
Anybody else having this problem? This is day 2 where I've logged on but everything works but my keyboard. Yesterday, after logging off, I opened Wordpad and my keyboard worked fine. Then, I logged back in and no keyboard commands wold work, again. After logging back in maybe three or four times, my keyboard finally started working.

Just logged in twice this morning and neither time would my keyboard work. Didn't stop me from quickly killing an LVT, but I couldn't drop landing gear or end sortie after that. Had to use the Windows key to minimize the game so I could close it to get out.

Is it just me? Going back to log in and try it again now.

Disregard. I finally kind of accidentally figured out the problem. It was my firewall.

I decided to try taking my firewall out of Game Mode. When I tried to log in after that I got a message from the firewall that AH was trying to access the internet, or some such. I told it to allow access, logged in, and everything seems to work fine now.

Kind of a strange firewall problem as I've never had it before. I just got an upgraded version of the Zonelabs firewall and had been letting it learn the programs I was using before finalizing setup.

Yesterday afternoon the firewall told me it had finished analyzing my system. That's when the problem started although I didn't make the connection at the time. I didn't realize it was having problems with AH until I tried the game without putting the firewall in Game Mode.
