CMD prompt, graphics mode, and no response from keyboard

[SivakDrac]

I was trying to run a DOS app and it doesn't accept any keyboard input while it's in graphics mode. It does this for any DOS program too. The only option is to force the CMD window to close and send error reports to microsoft.

WinXP Pro is the OS.

Any thoughts?

turn off error reporting and I guess if you are using a usb keyboard get a thing and use it in the ps/2 port.

The error reporting was a joke.

It's a standard PS/2 keyboard too.

I am, but I wanted to find a way to not use that. DOS Box is mainly to play games at a proper speed. Programs running in graphics mode in the command prompt should not halt my keyboard's usability.
