My keyboard is working fine otherwise, but on Merca Chase and Turmace Roll, the game doesn't respond to it. It'll respond to start with, for example it'll start the game on Merca Chase when I press the space bar, and it'll start the Turamac rolling when I press the right arow, but after that nothing. It's probably just me, but is anyone else having this problem?

I had a bit of a problem with Hase Bounce as well. It was jerky and sometimes when I clicked the Hasees would flash :S

My keyboard controls are fine. It's my brain that can't keep up with the faster speeds.

I have this problem on Firefox, but not on IE. Maddening.

I have this on firefox as well (but I run linux not windows), what helps is clicking ont the flash with your right mouse button and then go to control/or preferences, then exit those, that usually makes the flash app "get" my keyboard controls

Hmmm. Thanks for the advice, but it doesn't work on my windows box. This change happened last night between 9pm and 11pm EST, because I did a Ususki Frenzy challenge that ended at 9 and everything was fine. When I went in at 11 to do another one, the keyboard controls were gone.

I haven't tried any keyboard controlled games yet, but I've had problems today with Destruct-o-match. It isn't always recognizing the second mouse click to remove the blocks. Twice I didn't notice and messed up my game because of it.

I'm using Opera and Win2K.

I use firefox. Last night I was having trouble. I thought everything was fixed today, but now I can't use the arrow keys again.

I had the same problem with Destruct-o-match, as well as the arrow keys not working in Usuki Frenzy etc.

I'm using Firefox and WindowsXP.

It was actually my roomie who alerted me that there was a problem - I thought Oh No, the video card or something is going in my computer!

So, went and finally got the new shockwave and flash. Didn't do anything, so uninstalled FF and reinstalled the new version (had the update, thought that was the problem).

She was trying to play destruct-o-match and found that it took forever for the game to load and when it did it didn't want to accept her mouse clicks. And when it did it took a few seconds for the blocks to disappear, then a pause, then the rest of the blocks would move down.

ATM, I can't play any games in FF -- they're all too slow as to be unplayable. IE is speeding things up too much! It appears other browsers are having problems too with no keyboard commands recognized/games loading and playing very slow, etc.
