Frank, I'm not sure how to help you with this one. I don't know which piece of software allows keyboard navigation. I'll shoot something over to an engineer, and post a response if I get any answers. John

Hi are you running Windows NT or 98 or 95? and if NT which version with service pack? Also next time this happens, Do CTL+ALT+Delete (if in 98 u will see a list of tasks) If you are on NT, start the task manager and look at the Applications and Processes Tab.. In NT you can resize the list of tasks, get some screenshots using the 'print screen' key and then go to pbrush or ms photo editor and use "Edit\|Paste" to get the image into a picture file. Save the file(s). Then pm me with the list(s) and I'll see if I see anything out of the ordinary. Sometimes processes (stealing a term from UNIX) 'zombie' out and if they happened to be doing something with the 'rawinputthread' then ur keyboarding will quit working. In Windows (nt and 9x) there is a master thread called the 'raw input thread' which becomes attached to different processes during runtime. This thread handles the I/O and directs the keystrokes and mouse stuff to the process it happens to be attached to. David
