Also try booting from the cd and start the installation there (if that's what you haven't beeen doing), and if you have, then start from inside windows XP home (if you get what I'm saying). You never know, these things work funny.

In a form's constructor, I have: [code=C#]this.KeyDown+=new KeyEventHandler(frmGScreen_KeyDown)[/code] but the event handler does not invoke at all when I press a key on the keyboard.

So here's the deal. I learned to program with python, and C# is my second step up the ladder. I'm currently learning the language by making a Sudoku game (just porting over the code from python..nothing fancy). So I ran into a dead end just now...I know how to manipulate …
