- My Win3.1 does not respond to keyboard input other than CTL-ALT-DEL, or
- CTL-ESC, and CTL-TAB, and sometimes even these are ignored. The system
- does not freeze because I can still use the mouse to move around and
- launch programs (notepad, calculator, or DOS applications), but just
- no response to the keyboard inputs. My system is a 386/33 AT clone (Micronics)
- with 14 MB memories, 387, Video 7 Vega/VGA board, and logitech mouse,
- running DOS5.0. I use the HIMEM, EMM386, SMARTDRV, RAMDISK from WIN3.1.
- I have tried DrWatson and QAPLUS and msd, all of which does not
- report anything funny (as far as I can tell). Oh, I have a SCSI disk
- with a FutureDomain controller, and I did try SMARTDRV /double_buffer
- and VituralHdIRQ=FALSE, neither of which really help. I had also
- tried EMM386 noems.
-
- I am so frustrated because all of these are supposed to work, and I don't
- know what else to try, or where to look. If you have any suggestions at
- all, please help. Thank you very much.
