The problem might well be in the real mode hook of
keyboard interrupt 0x1b, maybe disabling this hooking for testers
on win2000 would help to get a answer to that problem !
Couldn't it be the same problem as the mouse under NT ?
Reminder, the mouse problem under NT seems to come from the fact that
the call to the DPMI function 0x303 where the address
of the real mode call structure is wrong :
NT apparently does not consider the high part of EDI !
As DJGPP also uses this function for hooking real mode interrupt
0x1b the problem could be a possible trouble point.
