SYMPTOMS
When you press SHIFT plus a button on a Gravis game controller, MechWarrior 4 responds as though you pressed SHIFT+1.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Gravis Controller Software is installed on your computer.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, remove the Gravis Controller Software:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Game Controllers.
 * 3) Click the Gravis controller, and then click Remove.
 * 4) Click Add.
 * 5) Click to select a joystick that has similar characteristics as your game controller from the list of devices, and then click OK. For example, click 3 axis 2 button if you use a joystick that has three axis and two buttons.
