I recently purchased a fairly "low end" pc at Microcenter as a "second pc" for home use. It is a Powerspec 6325: 1.7 GHz Celeron, 256 DDR Ram. It has an "integrated graphics card" SiS 650 AGP graphics chipset. Anyhow, this is not my " powergame machine ", and it is doing what I wanted it to do as a second pc. But just for fun, I thought I would install MSTS and see how it ran compared to my " power machine."Although I've got the graphics turned down a bit, it seems to run pretty smoothly in the game, exploring Marias Pass. When I go to the route editor, I can easily slew around Shelby without a lot of stutters.But here is the strange thing: the keyboard controls don't work. It all works fine with the mouse: brakes, throttle, horn, sander, and so on. The only keyboard response I get is F1, which calls up MSTS help, and Alt>F4, which gives me the exit activity prompt, and Enter, which then lets me exit. All other keys seem dead. I tried the troubleshooting thing, and turned down some and then all the graphic things, but that never made a diffence (except the game looked lousey).Any ideas as to what is going on? I have a 2 1/2 year old "Prophet 32 DDR in a now defunct other machine. I am thinking of putting it in just to see if that fixes MSTS, but really don't care to invest too much more $$ into making my second machine better than it already is.BTW, I have the MSTS patch installed.Thanks,Ted Kessel
