I am helping a friend set up a simple word processing program called Mindreader that was developed years ago (pre Windows) for disabled users. He has a specialist keyboard that requires keys to be pressed for at least 2 seconds before they register and a further two seconds before they repeat. As the current version of the keyboard has USB connection we had to use a Windows XP machine and have been running the program in DosBox for some time. Recently the keyboard time delay has been playing up but we have managed to duplicate the system using Sticky Keys and Filter Keys in Wndows Accessibility. This works fine in Word, Notepad etc (none of which he can use) but when he uses his specialist program within Dosbox, the initial delay of 2 seconds works for any key pressed but then it immediately goes into full repeat mode, printing a line of the same characters instead of waiting a further 2 seconds before printing another. I have narrowed the problem down to Dosbox and am wondering if there is a way of fixing this? Simple answers please.
