Keydown not working in windowed mode on vista

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Keydown not working in windowed mode on vista

Ok, last night something very very strange happened.

I am working on a game where I have used KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE) in the main loop to exit the game. This has worked all the time.
Until yesterday, when suddenly the KEY_ESCAPE just stopped being triggered.

I reinstalled both the latest Blitzmax and BLide editor versions, but that did not work at all. Just to try it out I compiled the game to run in full screen (I usually work in windowed mode) and then KEY_ESCAPE actually worked.

Strange thing is that all other keycode works in windowed...except for the ESC-key. It must be a local thing because it works like a charm compiling the same code on another machine.

Has anyone else experienced this very very annoying problem?
