Keyboard madness

This kind of thing has happened to me before, but because I pushed the 'Pause' button to... pause... the game, duh. Sound gone, speed x3, wierd lag when trying to restore order, just because I pressed the standard key almost all games use for paused mode - 'Pause'!

'P'?? Why 'P'?!?

Oh well...

Well, I'm thinking there is something weird in M2TW..
I'm getting the same thing when I'm using my function key to turn down the brightness on my laptop...

That's why i though he'd got a stuck function key on a laptop at first actually, it matches your expiriances exactly.

At the risk of sounding impossibly stupid, i've never heard of a function key, is it something laptops only have?

My keyboard is just a pretty standard wireless Microsoft one, don't really know what else I can say about it.

Yeah, it's Laptop specific. it's ushually green and changes the functions of some keys, (those with green writing on them).

Try a wired keyboard BTW, it could be signal errors thats the issue, unlikliy i know but it's worth it for nothing.

Just to take the wind out of everyone's sails for a moment.

I also am experiencing strange keyboard behavior.

Using the mouse and keyboard to move around the battle map, there is sometimes a beep from the PC and then the battle maps acts as if one of the direction keys is being permanently pressed.

Believe me it drives me nuts. I lost Acre as a Citadel this way, and my crusade then went down the toilet two turns later.

Does anyone have this problem?
