Hi,
I have recently installed D-Fend reloaded on a notebook with WinXP and a Desktop PC with Win7x64 in order to use Paradox 4.0 (DOS). It basically works, but the important key combination ALT-Z is blocked on both systems (they work directly on XP). Is this key combination used by D-Fend reloaded? As far as I can see, DOSBox doesn't use it.
Thanks for your help!

How do you know it is blocked?
Do you have a qwerty or qwertz keyboard and on the Dosbox prompt does typing z on your keyboard print z or y?

Thanks for asking. This is the real problem! I had checked the keyboard layout explicitly with German settings without results. Furthermore, the Z key works fine when writing. So where is the program to tweak?
