Yeh thats the problem i have. The thing is though my machine is pretty high end and works well with most modern games...
Go ahead and drop a GAME.EXE file in there and see if it does the same way. I'm kinda baffled myself why it does that way sometimes. It's hard to imagine Ex could be at fault. If it is it's probably just some random bug unrelated to input or anything that happens to show up that way. I think it's pretty clear Som does things different on that screen for no good reason. I'm thinking at some point we'll be able to make sense of it, but for now I don't feel like driving myself nuts about it. It is annoying when it happens though. I think you'll find that it doesn't always, even in the same game / with the same setup.
EDITED: It's definitely a bug that's internal to Som. Because what's weird is the arrow keys work basically but the confirm/cancel keys don't. And what really makes it clear is the confirm/cancel buttons on the joypad don't work either. So for whatever reason Som is choosing to ignore them.
EDITED: I think I will try to setup a fix that waits for the player to hit confirm or cancel and then just bombards Som with those keys until it leaves the screen. It's a pretty simple screen.
