Strange, strange. It seams that Keyboard support in DirectX is not working properly. The input part needs DirectX 5, but it's recomended to have latest version. Also run dxdiag and see if keyboard device is working.

I've got DX 9.0b on there.<br><br>No problems found in the input tab.<br><br>Apparently, Zdoom 2.0.63 (not 1.22) and all it's derivatives (ZdoomGL, Skulltag) crash on startup as well and "keyboard" is in the stack dump. So yeap, unusual keyboard problem.

It could be a problem with your keyboard drivers, you could try to look for an update.

The keyboard doesn't even have a name or any identification, and i've installed the latest Synaptics touchpad drivers (17mb big, ouch) even though that's not related. Right now the M$ standard 102-key keyboard driver is used (the factory setting)

Strange, because in Vavoom it crashes while initializing keyboard. You can try to run Vavoom with -nojoy parameter, but I kinda doubt that it will help.

Nopey, doesn't work still, same error. <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> EDIT: Just tried Zdoom 2.0.91 (Susan's Sister) with -nojoy, it seemed to work :O

Anyway, it doesn't seen to be a bug in Vavoom.
