Please post more, if you like us to help you.

What OS, are you using DOSBox or VDMSOund, and what is the game you having problems with?

im using dosbox with D-Fend frontend, and am trying to play indiana jones and the last crusade. The games works fine. It seems to be with the dos prompt itself, as if windows is stopping the use of function keys while in the dos prompt. It's quite strange. Sorry bout the double post.

Function keys in DOS? Could you enlighten me and explain me what that is? :blink:

First of all, what is a "function key"?

The Function keys are F1-F12

Anyway, I don't know how to solve this problem in DOSbox, but for Indiana Jones I recommend you just use ScummVM instead.

Are you using a Micro$oft crappy keyboard like me? I need to hit "F Lock" before being able to use any "function keys" (F1-F12), and that for ALL games or applications, Windows or not.

Otherwise, they are strange and stupid keys like F2=cancel, F4=New Document, etc. Really stupid.
