April 4, 200917 yr For certain programs, the laptop keys don't work. When I was running dosbox, for example, hitting backslash entered an end bracket, and in Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion (with the Shivering Isles expansion), neither the ~ or ' keys work (as in hitting them doesn't do anything). DosBox had a workaround, but as far as I can tell I can't do the same with Oblivion. I tried on-screen keyboard, but I couldn't use that while the game was running. Is there a solution? Or are those keys supposed to be disabled in Oblivion? OS is Vista Home Premium (32 bit I think).
April 6, 200917 yr Author The ~ key works with Neverwinter Nights 2 so I'm guessing it's something to do with Oblivion that's causing the problem. Anyone?
