When I play Grim Fandango, every few minutes the controls, apart from movement, just don't respond, and I have to exit the game to make them work again. Anyone else had this problem, any solutions?

Never had the problem myself, but have you downloaded the patch from http://www.lucasarts.com?)

I've never even heard of this problem. I kinda doubt the patch will help (certainly won't hurt, though).

Yeah, the patch doesn't make a difference. thanks anyway though.

I don't remember that specific problem. If I did have it, it can't have been that often. A problem I did have a few times was the entire game would freeze with the music and ambient sound playing over and over, though that I suspect was more a windows problem than the fault of the game. Your only hope may be to uninstall the game, wipe all traces from your HDD and re-install. It may work or it may not.

That might work. Worth a shot, anyway. I wonder, though, about the 'health' of the system. Even if GF is the only program that seems to be behaving strangely, I might suspect that it might be a Windows problem IF it's an old installation (a year or so). On the other hand, maybe the keyboard cord is just a little loose.
