| I do all my B3D devellopment on windows XP, but yesterday I tried the compiled program on my mother's Win7 laptop. There doesn't seem to be any graphical problems but it seems that the program has a lot of trouble readiong the keyboard. The key presses don't seem to be detected , or if they are it happens several seconds after they have been pressed. I know it could be a problem with my mother's computer, but her keyboard seems to be working fine otherwise. So did anybody else encounter keyboard problems with windows 7? |

| Have you tried running it in Compatibility Mode for XP? |

| no, but I'll try that, I have to go to my mom's house, every time lol |

OK I managed to fix it by just inserting a wait cycle in my main loopdelay 5 pheww, what a relief, it works perfectly now |

| Stupid question, but how do you look for keypresses? I'd recommend checking for your keypresses once in your loop and set a variable when it's set/unset, rather than checking each and every once of them 'realtime' scattered throughout our routines -- especially if you check certain keys/keycombinations more than once. (Your loop typically runs 60 times a second anyway, so it's unnoticable to the user) |
