GP2 Keyboard problems

13 posts by 8 people · 08 Mar 1998 - 11 Mar 1998

Does anyone have a solution to this problem: keyboard works fine in menus, in game (race/qual...) after 15 key presses the computer starts beeping and momentatrily freezes the screen. Means I can't use the keyboard during play? Tough to see the replay of Schumy trying to take me out....... Any suggestions? -- TTYL, Andrew www.compusmart.ab.ca/afairser/

What brand computer do you have. I have a Dell D266 and I have the same problem but even worse. I can't run an entire race because I can't use my key board to make/select pitstop options. I was told by Microprose that Dell went of on their own and did something different and the keyboard will not fully support GP2.
Hi Andrew, I have exactly the same problem. My machine is a Compaq Presario notebook with AMD K-6 233-MMX. The only way to play the game is to use a joystick and not toutch the keyboard. If you find any solution, send it also to me. I will apreciate a lot. Roberto

Hi Andrew, I've had that problem, the solution has been posted on r.a.s. before. Use KEYB.COM, that solves the problem. Cheers! Remco.

How do I use KEYB.COM? I get the messgage keyboard not loaded all the time!

Hmmm, actually since I read every message on r.a.s. for years, I never heard a solution was posted before. I have this problem on my DELL Pc since my P200mmx (my old PC), and still have it on my new one. Keyb.com can be found in the C:\Windows\COMMAND folder. So what you are saying is that you just execute the program, and run Gp2 after ? In DOS and Win'95 mode ? <ymenard jumps full of happiness and screams:> "I can finally press O to see how stupid Mr. Crammond was of modeling the darn Processor Occupancy thing ! ! ! !"

Hi, thanks. Could you be more specific. Just run this program? See next post. Details would be appreciated - I think that there are many others who could use this. It's funny that Microprose doesn't have this on their web site..... -- TTYL, Andrew www.compusmart.ab.ca/afairser/ >Hi Andrew, >I've had that problem, the solution has been posted on r.a.s. before. >Use KEYB.COM, that solves the problem. >Cheers! >Remco.
My problem is identical, and it appears we are not the only on. There is a solution in a later post regarding keyb.com but I can't seem to make that work yet. Waiting for details....
Interesting, I have a Compaq Presario 4540 AMD 233. It may be that there is no solution? -- TTYL, Andrew www.compusmart.ab.ca/afairser/ >Hi Andrew, >I have exactly the same problem.

Hi Stefan (and others), Pffffffff! (Sound of blowing dust of DOS manual) KEYB.COM, found in the \WINDOWS\COMMAND directory is a DOS TSR, and should be loaded in the following way: for US: \WINDOWS\COMMAND\KEYB US,437,\WINDOWS\COMMAND\KEYBOARD.SYS for UK: \WINDOWS\COMMAND\KEYB UK,437,\WINDOWS\COMMAND\KEYBOARD.SYS for NL: \WINDOWS\COMMAND\KEYB NL,850,\WINDOWS\COMMAND\KEYBOARD.SYS You could place the command in the AUTOEXEC.BAT, but a better way is to create a batch file for starting GP2, and place the command there. Hope this helps, Cheers! Remco >How do I use KEYB.COM? I get the messgage keyboard not loaded all the time!
Thanks, got one, need keys for pitstops and replays

Hi, You know I'm not positive as I have the same problem if I use more than just a tap on the O key too many times it stops working. But I think I read somewhere this is due to this type of keyboard? The 104 key windows type keyboards. It would be interesting to try it with an older keyboard and see. I will try to dig one up and let you know.
