NFSU2: Can't use my Keyboard in the menu

[pimmedoris]

KICK!!!!

Did anyone ever figure this one out?
I recently reinstalled NFSU2 and after a few weeks of normal playing I have the same problem as the TS.

So my problem did not occur after installing a patch, but the problem is the same: I can't use my keyboard in the game menus. When racing my keyboard works perfectly, it's just in the menus (shops, sponsors, options etc.) when it does work...

I don't think many people play this game anymore, but maybe someone had the same problem and remembers the solution?

Thanx!!!
