If anyone has the patience to read through all of this it would be greatly appreciated! This is a very frustrating problem that I'm having.
Alright, recently we had a power surge.
I started up my computer, everything was normal. My little sister had to type something for school and the keyboard just went crazy on her. You'd have to hit a key numerous times, it would type random things, etc. We boot up the other computer and it works fine too, the mouse, everything else in the USB hub is ok. But the keyboard is just really screwed up. Its a brand new logitech that I just got for Christmas. My dad bought a new microsoft(ughhh) keyboard and tried that, it still didn't work.
We have a switcher, so that we can have 2 computers on one monitor. So now we have the logitech one hooked up to my PC, the one without FFXI, and the microsoft on the gaming computer. The logitech is fine, I can type with no problems.
However the microsoft one is still kind of wierd. Sometimes it won't type at all, and if you press caps lock it acts like the windows key at random times. This makes it very difficult to nearly impossible to play the game. My character will start running around, and I know for sure that I did not accidentally press Auto-Run. When I'm healing she'll just jump up and starting running around in circles. Sometimes the screen will just start rotating really fast, or when you open the menus they'll just partially open and flash, or else they'll start auto scrolling until you press an arrow key. Also, I can't use the keyboard to scroll through menu items on and off. Sometimes it'll work, and then sometimes it won't. When it does this, it also switches to an empty macro pallette, and I can't change it back because the arrows won't work.
As you can see, I'm stuck playing solo for a while because no one wants a player in their group who might accidentally use the wrong macro, or cast a blm spell on a party member. :dead:
