8.1 Focus Issues

[eezetee]

With the help of the forum I was able to get my first system setup (Gorilla Cab, which is going to be torn down due to sheer ugliness) and new Kong-Cab built ( a bartop 2 player cab) which also has a jukebox (JRiver) application installed.

My question is this

This system is a touchscreen Dell machine and when I play a game in MAME, the other function keys such as ESC stop working in Hyperspin. I can no longer use up/down with the joystick to cycle through the games. It's as if I cannot restore focus to Hyperspin despite it being the main screen.

Looked over a few threads but I cannot find any reason why this would happend.

Windows 8.1 if it helps

Have you tried the Restore Frontend option in HLHQ, Restore & Click?

I think I have the same issue, but sometimes I also get background windows on top of HyperSpin. I've always thought it's because xpadder is stealing focused when a blank profile is loaded.

I believe I've found the issue and it's with Jriver which is my jukebox/media streaming software. Will have to test further but I've been able to replicate the problem twice.
