    everything works cept the keyboard but only when playing worms.
    i have searched for bugs and system clean. could it be a fault on the disc ...it is getting a bit old and scratchy?

    Hmmm.........not sure,maybe.Have you tried cleaning it?
    It could be something stupid like if the keyboards quite old it may not be compatible... :banghead:
    You know how complicated and fiddly they like to make these bloody machines :mad:

    the keyboard is about as old as the game but they have worked well together for years ...till now.

    Press enter, alt tab, etc.

    If not, get a NoCD crack for it, probably off gameburnworld or gamecopyworld... they have most things. Could be the old CD!

    Plus we all know WinXP hates old games. :( You can probably, if you want, pick up an old PC for cheap or free with win95 that'll play it. I have one for Red Alert! Just for that alone.

    I have win98 installed on a separate hard drive for old games. You don't need an old computer to run old OSes...

    I think it was windows 95.. it used to have trouble detecting HDDs over a certain size. But dont suppose it matters all that much. I just fiddle everything to get it to work in XP :) - except today I was playing oblivion and then I got a 'sticky keys' notification come up :mad:

    Well yeah, but AFAIK there's nothing that works in 95 and doesn't in 98.
