Title: SFC OP and Windows XP Issue...
Post by: rmahannah on July 21, 2003, 03:49:59 am

Was the issue with the SFC OP and Windows XP fixed with the new patch?  The issue was that you have to minimize your screen and maximize again at start up before your keyboard will function...

I don't have to do that. I never had to.

I've had to do it once, out of the dozen or so unstall / reinstalls I've done in the last few months. I think it just depends on what else you are doing when you start OP for the first time so that the mouse doesn't make the CD-key portion active when you click on it.

I have to.  I posted a couple of weeks ago about this issue before the new patch came out.  Someone else told me about minimizing and maximizing again to get the keyboard to work.  I heard it was a known issue with OP and XP...

It's a known issue for during the install..
.. which I have never had, btw.

Now if you can think of a way to fix the installation with a patch that applies after the installation itself, let me know.

Launch the game using the StarfleetOP.exe file not the SFCOP.exe file...

this should make the game launch with the keyboard enabled.. check the Readme.txt file...

thanks
