- The same thing happens to me whenever I run a Window's application in OS/2.
- The keyboard "vanishes" and will not respond in a DOS or OS/2 window. If I
- happen to go into a full screen DOS session, the only resort is the reset
- button (Ctrl-Alt-Del does not even work). Is this a well known problem?
- Thanks in advance.
