I can't use my shift key in Windowed/Fullscreen. I can't use my shift key at ALL. It just gives me C++ Visual Basic Runtime error and kicks me to desktop. This means i can't move units onto OTHER units which sucks.
Any suggestions or is this a known bug?
Ive looked through the threads and help files and can't find anything on it.
Have you been playing the game before OK, and this has just started to happen?.

This is not a known bug, and as has been noted, it is such a basic function of the game that it would have been reported by nearly everyone.

from your DXDIAG results:

Quote:

Sound Tab 1: DirectSound test results: Failure at step 10 (Secondary buffer): HRESULT = 0x80004005 (Generic failure)
Music Tab: DirectMusic test results: Failure at step 6 (Activating the IDirectMusicPort): HRESULT = 0x8007000e (Out of memory)

Is saying that you have sound card problems.

- Turn the mouse click off in the Game Options programme.
- turn both sound options OFF in the preferences screen.

If your problem then goes away, you have definately got a sound problem (whether a goosed card, drivers, or a bad CODEC you will need to determine by examining your system).

The other possibility, if you have been able to play for a while, and from the out of memory error reported, may well be a RAM error of some sort (either general RAM, or sound card RAM).

Cheers
