    Anyone having problems extracting multiple keystrokes for D901C?

    I am coding a flash AS2 code, for a character in a platform 2d game wich has the states left,right,down,up,jump and fire in all four directions.

    Imagine you press right, up and fire, the char was supposed to fire and point up while moving right, thing is...no matter how i coded there was only one state in wich the char doesen't assume the complete state.

    But the point is not about how i coded or how lousy programmer am i, the point is that after more than 3 hours of frying my brains out i tried on a different computer and voila all worked fine, tested on two more and tadaaaaa

    After that (and yeah only after that :S /me slap gl1tch :S ) i checked the numLock back on D901C and used the numPad arrows and all worked fine.

    Wonder if there is a problem with this machines keyboards?

    Others have had issues with trying to get multiple key-strokes to register properly; however, the discussion of the issue was months and months ago, so I'm a little hazy on how it panned out (I believe someone found a fix for it). If you're really, really bored, you might try digging back in the old threads, and if I happen to remember more about the last time it was discussed, I'll post.

    That thread was a part of it, but it also involved the BIOS beeping on some of the NP9262's that I mentioned in that thread.

    If you're not finding satisfaction, then this might be a good project for you to develop your diagnostic chops on.

    EDIT: As a basic means of dealing with the issue in a way that will affect most typical users, disabling the touchpad is, in fact, a solution, it's just not the solution you're looking for.

    what do you mean by "diagnostic chops on"?

    It's obviously a problem you're having, but not necessarily a problem that everyone has, or there would be a lot more posts about it here. Thus, it might represent a good opportunity to develop one's forensic skills by trying to track down exactly what's causing the symptoms you've identified to see if it's remediable.
