Diagnol + left control issue in Cactus shmups

[ericcarl]

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but it seems to exist in all of the shmup-style Cactus games I've played.

When I'm not holding down one of the shooting keys in the games, the ship seems to control as normal. However, if I have a shooting key held down, and I attempt to move left diagonally (up or down), the last key I press doesn't seem to be recognized. So, I can only move straight left while shooting or straight up or down. Moving right diagonally is no problem, it works like normal.

I'm playing on a Sony Vaio laptop with Vista installed. Any ideas? Thanks!

I had the same problem when I play on my Vista laptop, but not when I play on my XP Desktop. Might be Vista or your keyboard. I've heard others complain about it as well..

Well I'm glad my desktop machine is running XP then. Thanks!
