Ever since I was born into SL, I've been able to use my arrow keys on my keyboard to navigate, with the ability to use combinations of the keys. For example, I could hold both the up arrow and the left arrow to walk forward while at the same time turning to the left. Or I could hit both the up arrow and the page up keys which allowed me to fly forward and upward at the same time.
For some reason, the past two days, it will only permit one key at a time. The viewer won't recognize a second key held at the same time.
Can someone tell me how to get my multi-key capability back? It's very cumbersome to only be able to use one key at a time.
Thanks.

Yeah. I noticed that too. I think something got lost in one of the updates!

From: Brenda Connolly You've got more clients than a cheap TV Lawyer. I'm impressed. Unfortunately, I have at least twice that many SL folders for starting SL in Start Programs list. In my Start Programs list I see: Second Life Second Life - Sandbox Edition Second Life (ADITI) Second Life (FIRSTLOOKWINDLIGHT) Second Life Beta Havok Second Life God Mode Second Life Release Candidate Second Life Voice Veta Second Life Voice First Look Second Life Windlight Down near the bottom there's a Second Life 1.15.1.3 . A few up from that there's Second Life (Dale Glass) This is a bit confusing.

Yeah, the problem doesn't appear to be in the viewer itself. Something must have changed with my PC. Very frustrating!!

Just some obvious things. Is it a wireless keyboard? Are the batteries OK? Is the Wireless receiver blocked by anything. I had a case where my mouse was acting strange and I realized the receiver was hidden behind some stuff on my desk.
*Not plausible, answers, but at least it bumps you up before the thread falls off the front page.*

There is a setting in the Client UI menu for asynchronous keys, maybe that has something to do with it.
There are keyboard related options in Control Panel / Accessibility. Maybe something there is interfering.
