No Keyboard Response

[Steve27256]

I have just installed train Sim to find the keyboard commands are not working. I have tried both usb and ps/2 keyboards, with the same results. I can use the ctrll/alt /del keyboard combination to exit train sim. Other than this I have no problems with my keyboard.......anybody any ideas?

Has it got one of those F Lock buttons on your KB,you need to press to get F1 to F12 to work ?

or when you start MSTS in options/Keyboard,you not change any of the settings ?

This can occur if you are using Windows XP.

If in MSTS and the keyboard does not work use the Alt+Tab key combination to tab out of MSTS back to the desktop. Then Alt+Tab to go back into MSTS. If they keyboard now works then the problem is the MSTS startup video. The resolution is to delete or rename the MSTS startup video.

I dont have access to MSTS at the moment so I don’t recall the file name of the startup video. If the above does resolve post back and someone is sure to know the file name and location.

Thanks superheatedsteam, tabbing out and back into Train Sim clears the problem.......anybody know the name of the video to delete?

I think it's "startup.mpg".

I have this happen to me fairly often, I must admit I'd never tried to resolve it, but I thought the startup video was already removed. I will have to go and check.
