Sooo... I'm read through all the support forums looking for help on this, haven't seen anything yet. Maybe someone out there ran across this problem and was able to solve it? We'll see.
Basically... the game runs great... sound, video, mouse... the works. One problem. The keyboard doesn't work at all. I've tried all the compatibility stuff built into XP and i've tried the Patch everyone has been talking about. Basically... When I create a new game, it asks me to name the base... I get nothing. It won't let me type at all. Ideas? Windows XP Professional P3 1000mhz GForceFX 5200 On Board Audio Normal PS/2 Keyboard. Thanks in advance. -Dave |

I've had this problem several times before too (and not just with any of the X-Com games). Though most of the time the cause and solution were a bit elementry (the keyboard plug had come loose - tightening the plugs fixed it). At other times the computer just needed a good reboot.
What version of the game are you using? The dos edition or the collectors edition (i.e. the windows version)? If you run the game with an .exe, it should be the windows version, if you run it with a .bat (or .com) file, then it's the dos version. - NKF -------------------- Current Avatar Source: A custom GM-Striker.

I'm using the Windows Version, and no my keyboard is not messed up, because it works in other games/windows. This is the only game I have that has this problem.
Thanks. -Dave |

hmm..
So you're not able to enter data into the game? (Such as base names, character names etc) And you're not able to use the keyboard shortcuts (Assuming that UFO has 'em) But are you able to use the 'window's' button (located between Ctrl and Alt)? Is there anything special about your keyboard, did you install any drivers for the keyboard? Also are you able to Alt-Tab and use the Keyboard outside of UFO while it is running? Just a few questions to help us figure out this problem

Normal keyboard... no special drivers. The window key works... ctrl-alt-del works... but within X-com it doesn't let me input anything.
Ideas? |

One more thing, I just tried it on my laptop across a network drive and the same problem occurs. Hope that helps.
