bben46 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 This has nothing to do with either Win7 or 64 bit systems, it has been around since Win98 and was a common problem when nearly everyone had WinXP and 32 bit systems.For some reason incomprehensible to me, Microsoft Disables the ~ key when there is an infrared receiver (IR) on the computer. :rolleyes: If you have one of the Windows Media PCs the simple solution is to unplug the infrared receiver (used with the remote control). Laptops and PCs with a built in IR is a little more dificult - for those you will need to go into the system settings and disable the IR. Best solution, remap the ~ key for the keyboard outside of the game. That makes the remapping work for all programs and not just the game. I know there are several free programs that allow remapping nearly any key. Pick an unused key such as the useless pause/break key that is on most PC keybpards and remap the ~ key to that one. Be sure to get the lower case as well as upper character as I think the actual key scan code for the game is tied to the lower case ` key and not the upper (shifted) ~ key. Here is one key remapping utility program: http://majorgeeks.com/KeyTweak_d4161.html :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aluviel Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Woohoo Ben I did a search on the infared reciever and learned how to disable the software. I hope this does something. *crosses fingers* If not I will find out where the actual hard ware is and unplug it. Thank you so much for replying!!

Aluviel Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Here's a wiki entry that might help. You dont need the Mod all you have to do is disable the remote control on your computer. I never realised I had a remote control or wasnt interested in using it anyways. I have Vista its a pain. So here is what I did:My computer - system properties- device manager- looked at the end of the list for Universial Serial Bus controlers.I clicked the + sign and saw the eHome infared reciver and right clicked choose Disable.I went into game hit the console or tid key and it worked perfect!!!I cant believe it could be that simplenow after x amount of years I can finaly finish this game!
