Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had the following problem?
I have been using dosbox for a number of years without any issues including version 0.74. At some point over the last 6 months during which time the only changes have been automated window 7 updates I have found I have lost access to keyboard input within dosbox. In other words at the z: prompt I am unable to type in anything from my keyboard with none of the keys being recognised. This appears to be application specific as outside of dosbox 0.74 there does not appear to be a problem. As an experiment I have tried some of the more recent versions of dosbox i.e. EMUCR including dosbox SVN 3876 which appears to have the same problem. Interestingly, I have found that that this problem does not occur in Taewoong's most recent build which is based on the SVN 3852 base. However, the problem does occur with the EMUCR build of dosbox SVN 3852.
Apologise for discussing builds which are not official releases but this appears to be the only way I have been able to continue to use dosbox. I was wondering if anyone had come across similar issues and had any solutions so that it is possible to use the 'mainstream' version of dosbox. Thanks.
