Hello everyone, I was quite surprised to find an active community based on this great game. I'm having a keyboard issue on an eee pc. I did a search on here and I found a couple of unresolved threads with similar problems as I'm experiencing. However nothing seemed to come of the threads. The problem comes from not having a separate number pad when I get to the section where I name Cloud. It seems the game takes my configuration settings and decides not to use them anymore. I lose all my reconfigured keys and instead looks for the number pad. I can navigate just fine using the fake number pad with the function key. However It also takes away my enter key. This poses quite a problem, I can highlight what ever option I want but I have no way of executing the ok. I've tried binding the ok command to a variety of buttons including ones activated by my function key. I had hoped if it reverted to the default that it would be allow something like that, but it really wants that number pad enter key. I did have to use the ff7input.cfg file to even load my game as the enter key wouldn't work at the title screen either. Aside frrom that slight tweek I haven't applied any other patches or fixes. This is with a maximum install.
Thank you for any help you can give, I really don't want to resort to a usb number pad or keyboard. I was hoping to have a FFVII fix that I could haul with me.

Well I thought I had found a solution, I rebound my right shift to the number pad enter key. It worked successfully in several windows applications. I went ahead and launched FF7 only to find that it still recognized it as my right shift. The quest continues on.

Assuming that you have a laptop - the "Function key" + Enter when the virtual numpad is turned on, might be the numpad enter. Also, I believe that you can press Escape and then Enter and get the default name. Just remember that it requires the 1.02 patch.

I didn't have the 1.02 patch installed, once that was done my enter key worked like a charm. However when I changed the graphic settings that the 1.02 patch readme lists it caused the backgrounds to be rendered in a grid. Pretty weird looking effect, not exactly my style however. So I went back to software mode and everything is working properly. Thank you for the help, hopefully nothing else goes wrong. I remember fighting so many crashes right after FF7 was first released.

In case you want to fix it: link (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=2670.0) (search for "grid").
