XTreeNet 3.0 Blocks Use of ALT and CTRL Keys

 * }

Q132592

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
XTreeNet uses the ALT and CTRL keys to open XTreeNet menus. This behavior conflicts with the Windows 95 system keys.

If you start Xtnet.com with Windows Explorer, the program will run but it blocks the ALT+TAB, CTRL+ESC, and ALT+ENTER key combinations. The only way to access another program is to exit XTreeNet.

CAUSE
XTreeNet is an older MS-DOS-based program that was not written to be compatible with Windows.

RESOLUTION
Start XTreeNet in an MS-DOS session. The ALT and CTRL keys will open XTreeNet's menus, but the Windows system keys will still function.
