Help
I am starting to get really annoyed. When I play any Bullfrog games (dungeon keeper and theme hospital) it is as though my mouse and my keyboard just stop working. They completely pause but the games are still working away in the background. Sometimes I take them out of the Pc then put them back in that sometimes work but for only a short period of time.
Does anyone know how to stop this?  PLEASE HELP Thanks |

What keyboard and mouse are you using?
Have you tried using them in another machine?

What version of windows are you using? And how old are the games? I haven't checked too deep into it, but I believe that the games were created for win95/dos. I got these stats for the games at PCGameworld.com. Theme Hospital System requirements
Operating system: DOS;Windows 95 Min RAM: 8 Mb Min CPU: 486/66 Min CD Speed: 2X Min Video Mode: SVGA And Dungeon keeper System requirements Pentium 90 Microsoft Windows 95 or later 16 MB RAM 4x CD-ROM drive SVGA with 1 MB VRAM Mouse Sound card If you're using xp, there could be compatibility issues involved here.
