Remember to save the main file (F2) first. Or check your system clock.
I also hear FAT32 may have some problems.

I usually had this problem too. When you hit Ctrl-F9 to start the
program, and release the Ctrl only *after* install_keyboard() is
called, the BIOS never gets to know that you did release it, so when
you return it still thinks you do. It's easy to fix when it happens,
just hit Ctrl again after the program exits, or just release the Ctrl
faster when you run it.
