I'm running DosBOX on a Dell Latitude E6430 to run an old interpreted BASIC application on a computer running Windows 7 x64. I also tried it on a Lenovo m92P running Windows 7 x64 with the same results.
I'm having a problem with the numeric keypad. When I start DosBOX and run the app, it runs. However, the app is used to perform a calculation and requires data entry and the numeric keypad doesn't work. It 'appears' to work because when you press a number key the cursor moves, but there is no character displayed. The number keys above the letters work correctly.
I tried forcing the keyboard mapping to us103 instead of auto. That did not help. I tried mapping the number keys on the numeric keypad to the number above the keyboard letters. That also did not help. After doing that I found that if I start the application, press the NumLock key to turn NumLock off, and then press it again to turn it back on, then the number keys on the numeric keypad work.
Is this a bug? In the mean time I'm giong to look for a way to toggle numlock off/on using the configuration script (external program).
Thanks!I
