Don't use that command. It crashes/corrupts for me as well. There are
other fast 32 icon commands, aren't there?

No. :-(

Umm, don't turn multitasking off. That would seemingly solve all your
problems with crashing and reading the keyboard (with Raw Key, it can't
detect multiple key presses at the same time, which could also be a
problem). Surely you can't be that desperate for the speed? I'm sure
there are better ways to accelerate your code.
