FSX keyboard problems

[wgdaggdfageafgaedgewrgefd]

I've played FSX:SE since December and I never encountered any problems. It wasn't until last month my keyboard randomly started failing. When I start a new flight the keyboard works perfectly fine but then stops working after a few minutes. I've tried troubleshooting my keyboard, I tried deleting the fsx.cfg, I tried reinstalling the sim and countless other things too. I've been looking for around a month now and becoming more desperate for help just to play the flight sim again.

It started when you typed your forum user name.

Get a new keyboard, I'd say.

Does it only happen when using FSX?  Is this a USB keyboard?

Run sfc, may have some corrupt windows files.

[wgdaggdfageafgaedgewrgefd]

mrzippy Yeah it only happens in FSX.

jgf SFC didn't seem to have detected any corrupted files.

One more suspect eliminated. 

 

If this isn't a laptop, try the keyboard in different USB ports;  I've often corrected issues by playing "musical ports".

You did not confirm the use of a USB keyboard yet.  If it is a USB, then try holding down the ESCAPE key for 5 or more seconds when it fails, to see if it starts working.

jgf I've tried that many times but still going cheese.

What did you try?  Holding the Escape key down or verifying game files.  Sorry, you are not very clear with your answers.  Also please confirm USB keyboard or wired.

[wgdaggdfageafgaedgewrgefd]

I've tried verifying my game files. Also I use a wireless keyboard 

 

Sorry for my quick answers, this is my first post  

[mrzippy]

OK, now if it fails on you, try holding down the ESCAPE key for 5 seconds and see if the keyboard will work.

[wgdaggdfageafgaedgewrgefd]

No :c still doesn't work.
