197547 2003-12-05 06:34:00 Hi,
I have been recently having a problem with (what I thought was) my keyboard. When I try to play GTA vice city on my PC the player runs around in anti clockwise circles, like the left key is being pressed all the time. This also hapens with some of my other games (but not all). I tried to use a different keyboard but the exact same thing happes.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this?
Thanks

This is a seriously annoying problem.

197549 2003-12-05 09:56:00 That is really a strange problem. You have checked for conflicts etc with the keyboard? What happens if you reassign the left and right moves in the game to different keys (if you can)? Jen C (20)
197550 2003-12-05 10:47:00 Yeah, I checked for conflicts, and there were none. I also got the latest drivers of the micrsoft site, but that didnt help. When I press a the offending key it does not affect the random spinning. cold_fu5ion (3438)
197551 2003-12-05 13:34:00 It sounds like a pretty minor problem to rectify - it's as if the keyboard has maybe got some moisture into it's insides. I'd suggest you test a known working keyboard.

Most are dirt cheap these days if you need a replacement. (They're therefore not very resistant to spills such as coffee or scotch etc)

Hmm..... scotch. I wonder if that could possibly have anything to do with the perception of a player running around in circles?

Sorry, couldn't resist it. :p :D
