Hi chaps,
I had this problem on my laptop a while back and never resolved it.
After a while, and it never happened before on this desktop machine- but in Defcon space bar stops working in order to de select units.. This happens either while playing or placing my stuff. I figured it was a hardware problem in the past, but everything has been working 100% up til now
The chat window also doesn't get re-selected by simply pressing enter ...
About 20 minutes previous to this starting on my desktop machine, I installed a freeware utility which replaced or updated mfc71.dll (or similar..) I just installed the new IE7 to see if that would overwrite whatever had changed but I still have the same problem..
Space bar works fine in other windows applications; but doesnt work properly any more in Defcon as of about half an hour ago
Does anyone have any suggestions? Have you seen this before?
I'm running Windows XP Service Pack 3
EDIT: The three potentially changed files are system32\mfc71ud.dll msvcp71d.dll and msvcr71d.dll but I don't want to just remove them..
Thanks
Space bar no longer working to deselect units? c++ dll prob?

Thanks for the reply. It was a utility called Noki from nokisoft.com, which should be pretty innocuous and didn't trigger an alert
I renamed the dll files and it didn't make a difference, so then I ran SFC /SCANNOW which seemed to do the trick. Also turned off anything not required in msconfig so really I'm not 100% of the cause but it's back to normal now.
cheers
