I start Dosbox and I cant type anything in the prompt, nothing inside the dosbox seems to do anything
Are you using a default clean installation?
Intel i7 5960X
Gigabye GA-X99-Gaming 5
8 GB DDR4 (2100)
8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
Plug in the keyboard and try again.

Its on a laptop
what is a default clean installation?
I am using Vista.
I can open a normal dos prompt and can type fine.
Works fine on my vista laptop.
anybody else have any ideas?
I have a Vista laptop too and can type
anyway:
keyboardlayout=auto ?
Ctrl+F1 ?
Ctrl+F10 ? <- that would be for mouse focus, actually 🙄

Try setting SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib (google for windows environment variables) before launching dosbox. I think that makes SDL use another method for input (win32 instead of directinput).
Thanks for all the help.
I uninstalled, and installed the older version .72 for windows, and it works fine. I will use it like this for the time being.
Go to configuration and edit configuration:
Change:
keyboardlayout=auto
to:
keyboardlayout=none
or
keyboardlayout=us
And seve changes.
And start dosbox again.
Does this help you?
