    Hotkeys not working with some AT computers
    « on: May 11, 2012, 11:39:36 AM »
    I have a program that runs out of DOS and after the program starts it requires that the hotkeys be used.  I've sucessfully run the program on some older AT machines in the past.  On newer PS2 style computers the program starts but using the hotkeys causes the screen to go blank.  I can use ctrl break to stop the program and return to DOS after that happens.  I thought that maybe it was something to do with the AT style keyboard vs the PS2 style however I just rebuilt an older AT machine and the hotkeys do the same thing.

    I'm beginning to think it may be something in the video card or video setup that doesn't recognize the hotkey function and causes the screen to go blank.

    Does anyone have any experience with this?
