Hi, I don't know what I did to do it, but all my F-keys in DOSBox stopped working. I can't use F12 to increase the cycles, etc. I am using D-Fend, I tried uninstalling both DOSBox and D-Fend, but neither works.

Before anyone mentions it, yes, I know that it's ctrl + the F-Key

You aren't using a Microsoft keyboard with an "F lock" button, are you?

Every time I want to use DOSBox (or MAME, or MIDI-OX for that matter), I have to make sure the function keys are turned on... and I know of no way to get them to turn on at boot...

Nah, it's a Seanix keyboard. The f-keys work everywhere else, perfectly.

See if you have a file called "mapper.txt" somewhere in your dosbox/d-fend/game directories. If you have, delete it (or rename it to something else).
