I have a G19 keyboard. The keyboard works until I launch.
The joystick works but the keyboard will not until I die.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem on the 1994 Edition (sorry, no game-specific forum for it yet). I'm using a Logitech G15 keyboard. I also noticed a couple of other people in this forum and one other in the X-Wig forum with the same issue. I hope someone has some ideas...

UPDATE: I solved the keyboard problem by running dosbox.exe (for me, path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Star Wars - TIE Fighter (1994)\DOSBOX) in administrator mode.

Unfortunately, this has caused my Saitek X45 to stop working. I have not yet found a combination of compatibility modes or tweaks to the joystick type in the dosbox_tie.conf that re-enables the joystick. FYI, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.

UPDATE 2: X45 problem also solved. For some reason, although it was not connected, Win 7 still had my Razer Nostromo in the list of contrrollers, and the game was attempting to use the "phantom" controller. I removed the device via Device Manager, and the X45 now works as expected.
