kbhit() and getch() question

[Chris Gonnerman]

Dunno.  Check the version of your MSVCRT.DLL (mine is 6.10.8637.0).

Do Start, Find, Files or Folders.  Enter MSVCRT.DLL in Named: and your C:
drive
in Look In and do Find Now.  You may find more than one, but likely the one
in
c:\windows\system is the one being used.  (Do the find just in case there is
a
different version in your path... this could be your problem).

Right click on the file and select Properties, then click the Version tab.

You could also use SFC (the System File Checker) to install a "stock"
version
from your original master set.  This is not recommended unless you *know*
the
installed version is bad; however I might try it anyway since the previous
installed copy is backed up by SFC (so I could just put it back if I had
problems).

If this doesn't work we may need to try other voodoo.
