Well, for those who have seen me on lately, you know since my HD crash recovery, UT has been working a bit odd lately and it's been a big headache for me. Well I sat and thought what has changed, and the only 2 things since the recovery was the latest version of Norton Security Suite and Constant Guard from Comcast. Constant Guard is an anti identity theft app that also protects against key loggers. Evidently, this feature really messes with the QWERTY and Num pad keys, re-assigning them different keys, hence my issues. Why they affected the game and not any other app on my system (that I know of) is beyond me, but I have removed it and all is well.

So, if any other users out there have Comcast, abstain from installing Constant Guard. You kind of have no choice in the beginning, but after you can uninstall it.

This has been a public service announcement.

Yep, was removed from mine as well.
