SCAN CODE TYPING METHOD 2 

The versions of JOYKEYS (2.00) and SCANCODE (5.90-beta) above contain a problem that has been reported on certain computers. When you first run the program, the computer will totally lock up, and the only way to restore it to normal is with a power boot. This does not happen on all computers, but it does happen on some. 

What is happening is that the keyboard BIOS on those particular computers is incompatible with Scan Code Typing Method 2 (if you have absolutely no idea what a "Scan Code Typing Method" is, you need to read the program documentation). When you run the JOYKEYS or SCANCODE programs, one of the things they do is perform a Test to see which of the 3 Scan Code Typing Methods they should use. As a part of the Test, the program must actually "type" a Scan Code using the Typing Method it is trying to verify. 

If your computer locks up, it means your computer is not compatible with Scan Code Typing Method 1 (if it was, neither JOYKEYS or SCANCODE would even perform the Method 2 Test). Obviously, your computer is not compatible with Scan Code Typing Method 2, either, or your computer would not lock up. What you have to do is FORCE the program to use Scan Code Typing Method 3. If you tell the program which Typing Method to use either from the command-line or from the appropriate environment variable, it will never perform the test that locks up the computer. 

To fix JOYKEYS, do one of the following: 
JOYKEYS /Method:3 {other command-line Options} 
SET JOYKEYS=/Method:3 {other environment variable Options} 

To fix SCANCODE, do one of the following: 
SCANCODE M3 {other command-line Options} 
SET SCANCODE=M3 {other environment variable Options) 

I will try to figure out a fix for this and update the programs accordingly. I am very sorry if this has caused you any problems!
