Has windows changed again?

« on: July 02, 2018, 07:32:31 PM +0100 »

The last few times I have started GPL I have noticed that I don't have full control of the interface. For example, last couple of races: 1 entered via Igor, 1 via IP

I get into the race and press the green button. It takes noticeably longer to actually get into the race, and I go into my setup to check things, maybe change fuel. I have noticed that I can't:
1. Type a name for a new setup - mouse takes me into the menu but keyboard doesn't respond
2. even if I try to back out after saving nothing the buttons don't respond to the mouse

If I CTL+ALT+DELETE, press task manager I actually come back into GPL, and have control... it's a bit of a faff, anyone else seeing this?

Colin this sounds like a USB problem

Use Mouse, Keyboard and wheel only with the rear USB2 or PS2 ports.
If you have other USB devices connected, disconnect them.

Axel, nothing has changed with the PC, same stuff as always connected to the PC (dongles for wireless keyboard and mouse), nothing else, nothing new.

I guess it could all do with a clean so at the weekend I'll take it all apart and clean behind the PC, then put it all together again

Pelle, all fine here, W7 with Firefox Wink

If you have any "security software" installed, switch it off to test if it's ukgpl.com.

I had tried W10 again for 2 weeks on an Apollo Lake board and deleted it...
Under the hood is pure W7, whenever you go deeper in the settings you find original W7 system...
BUT you get a lot of spyware + keylogger for your money.

They claim this board can only run under W10 - LOL - now it runs under W7 and consumes 8Watt instead of 11Watt!

Hmm, this is fun...no probs & warning today Wink

The error must have been here on UKGPL, because I tested on server as well. Both are Win10 x64 & they run perfectly Grin
