I cannot turn left or right in Eye of the Beholder 3 using the keypad. They should be keys 7 & 9, and keys 1 & 3 for "All Attack" don't work either.

I'm using a netbook, and with NUMLOCK off, keys 7,9,1 and 3 are respectively HOME, PagUp, End and PagDown. My guess is that those keys work only on keybord layouts without HOME, PagUp etc. assigned to keypad with NUMLOCK off, but I'm not sure.

Any way to solve this problem?

The numlock key needs to be on, using a "real" keyboard, if I turn numlock off, the keys don't work either...
You can also use the arrows...

With numlock on it doesn't move. Arrows left/right don't let me turn, only slide.

Somehow it worked with 0.74, but I get weird sounds. With 0.73 sound is ok, but it can't turn. Thanks for helping anyway.

There's actually one method to make it work in DOSBox 0.73, that is having numlock off, pressing ctrl+f1 to access the key mapper, activate numlock without changing anything, and going back to the game. It's really strange though.

Well, I assumed it was 0.74, since 0.73 is not the latest and all that...
I didn't get any weird sounds...of course I didn't sit and finish the game again just to see if I could use the turn keys 😜
