Software I need help - strange behaviour of Orbiter

[Dirk]

Hi !
I am using Orbiter since about 2 years and I never had problems with it.
I am using the same computer I had when I started with Orbiter (AMD 4800+; 2 G Ram; Asus mainboard; ....). Right now I am using the latest stabil Orbiterversion (2006 P1). I always used to have 2 or more Orbitermaps on my PC (to try some new addons and something) without any problem.
But now something strange happened; I think its strange because I don`t understand the behaviour and the reason back.
I installed a new clean Orbiterversion (the same like above). But when I wanted to start it it just showed "loading" and nothing happened. You see the first screen and ... nothing .... no textures are loaded, no data at all ... With some senarios it stays just like this, some other senarios starts to load after I pressed the spacebar (or something else on my keyboard).
So the senarios gets loaded then but I cant use the keyboard at all ... no reacion with F1, no possibility to start the rocket or something .. nothing.
All you see is the outsidelook of the senario. Strange, isn`t it. I have to close the program via "crtl-alt-del". No other possibilities.
The Orbiterversions i already had on my PC works fine ... I tried a lot of times ... downloaded from other mirros .... the same thing ...
I tried also all possibilities with the video, no change. I dissabled all MFD`s and so on ..., no change. I cant help it. Can someone help me, any ideas ?
Open for all kind of inspirations. Hoping to hear from you ....
Dirk

That it sometimes help when you press space is an indication that something pops up in the background (like a virus scanner, update function etc.). Switching to another window is also known to cause loss of keyboard control on orbiter. This is known and there is no fix for it, unfortunately Martin can't replicate that bug.
