1. Which adventures? We need details.
2. Do not use CAPS LOCK.

Please write the details about your configuration, system (PC, Mac), OS (Windows, OS10, Linux), processor type + speed, memory, keyboardtype (USB, PS/2) etc. Withouth such information, it's really hard to help.

Yes, I had that on Police Quest 3 the other day, but Police Quest 1 worked fine before that.
When I went to save a game, I couldn't type to rename a save. I checked out in windows and it worked fine. I think I eventually got it working, but I forget how. 😖

I'm not the "guest" above. Just so you know! 😉

And back to the issue, I just started my PQ3 with DoSBox today and have the same problem with saving. It doesn't allow you to use the keyboard for anything. Have you figured out how you fixed the problem Magic, assuming you're still active in the forum?

BTW, here are my specs: PC, Windows XP, P4 3.2 Ghz HT, 512 MB, PS/2 keyboard (not american by the way).

Please mail me I anyone figures it out. Thanks.
