The darned ALT key... - Erik - 28-11-2006 Okay, now.. there's this little key in the bottom left hand side of your keyboard, beside the space bar named the ALT key. This little key likes to "freeze" your game when pressed by opening a menu on the top left of your screen. If you've taken out the controls (eg: Minimize, Maximize / Restore, and Close) then it will not open this menu, and you won't have this problem. Does anyone know how to get rid of this annoying little "feature" that Microsoft has lovingly added to .exe's? I'd really appreciate your input! Thanks, //Erik NOTE: I've found a way to make the ALT button do things such as casting spells and such, but it still freezes the game. If you click it once, it "freezes" it, and if you click it again it "unfreezes" it, and does whatever commanded to do. ANOTHER NOTE: You can also access this lovely menu by clicking on the icon on the top left of your program! Yay! - funkynut - 28-11-2006 Alt allows you to use the menu bar without a mouse so I guess removing the menu would stop it. Other then that, I dont know how to stop it - Erik - 28-11-2006 Well.. how do I remove the menu other than taking out the entire control box? - Matt - 28-11-2006 You could take out the control box, and make three picture boxes, labels, w/e and have them do what the three buttons do. That way, the menu won't be there, and your game will look a bit more customized. ^_^ - Misunderstood - 28-11-2006 We fixed that with keyboard hooking on KoC a while ago. |
