    [​IMG] Ok, I have this game, a little old but not too much I think, Mercedes Benz Truck Racing; I use this laptop, Presario 2500; so, I use arrows keys for direction, Q,W,E,R, for speed up and brake, etc., sometimes the keyboard seems to get stuck (like pressing all the time) so if I'm turning, it keeps turning after released the key; I've noticed that this happens when 2 o 3 keys are pressed at the same time; this happens sometimes in another old games also.
    I remember that there was this tool or something that fixes this kind of problems. Any ideas?

    Are you sure you don't just have sticky keys? I had a similar problem and it turned out my keys were just sticking.

    Nop, tried some write in notepad.
    I don't know, I changed keys to use ctrl and alt and it works now, weird.
    But as I said, some other games won't work.

    I've had something like this happen whilst controlling the hydra jet in GTA:SA when pressing some combination of W, A, D, UP/DOWN, SPACE and CTRL. It just sorta beeps and acts as if I wern't pressing anything until I release the keys.

    Is the keyboard USB or PS\2? if its the latter, then it can only handle 2\3 keys being pressed at the same time before it jams up and beeps. USB keyboards can have many keys pressed at the same time and still work correctly.
