The problem might well be in the real mode hook of keyboard interrupt 0x1b, maybe disabling this hooking for testers on win2000 would help to get a answer to that problem ! Couldn't it be the same problem as the mouse under NT ? Reminder, the mouse problem under NT seems to come from the fact that the call to the DPMI function 0x303 where the address of the real mode call structure is wrong : NT apparently does not consider the high part of EDI ! As DJGPP also uses this function for hooking real mode interrupt 0x1b the problem could be a possible trouble point.
