That sounds like a great possibility- I'll fire it up again tonight and try to find this invisible window of which you speak. It's as good an answer as any I've thought of! FRUSTRATING, to say the least, though.

Thanks for your help, Seebs.

(This occured while I was setting up both of my characters and trying to type within the chat window; occurred continually after reach of multiple system restarts and CoV downloaded updates)

All of a sudden, the CoV program or my Windows 7 64-bit OS decides to stop reporting keystrokes in any text window. Naming my character, for example, or trying to type in a bio results in the screen doing a little flash, then even in mid-sentence it stops recording anything I type.
Even while in the game post tutorial-server, when I try to type, the cursor goes into the text window, but does not display any characters as I type.

Google seems to believe I'm the only person this has happened with. Can it be true? Anyone else run into this? I'll have to send a real system help ticket if nobody can give me any advice..
