I'm a physically challenged quadriplegic and require MS's StickyKeys and MouseKeys to navigate through programs and games. I haven't had any problems using these features with many games but lately some software writers are toggling Mousekeys and Stickykeys off. This seems to be one of them.
I'm able to get to the main Menu screen and my Numpad mouse emulator (Mousekeys) cursor moves around the screen but when I try to click any item nothing happens. I then need to press Alt+F4 to close the game.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to get into the game from the Menu screen? I've tried all the basics like Tab, Arrow keys, Enter, Spacebar, etc. but get nowhere.

Any help would be appreciated.
TYIA,
Talon aka Ron

It seems to work fine with my Mousekeys in accessibilities for game Menu. Try to hit key 5 in NumPad for left-click; for right-click, hit "-" first then "+" next.

I always use Mousekeys with CotN, everything works fine for me.

Thanks Jacquou but I am using the Numpad as you specified, been using Mousekeys since Windows 2.0 but still get no responce in the Menu page :(
Possibly something on my system is conflicting with the game?

System info:
Dell Dimension 8100 (nearly 4 years old)
P4 1.3GHz Intel CPU
640MB RDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce2 Ultra with latest drivers (66.93)
Creative Audigy2 Soundcard with latest drivers

We're looking into the issue now.

Talon, if you could attach a full DXDiag of your system that may help us figure out why the accessibility keys are working for Jacquou Le but are not for you.

Thanks Blair,

Here's my dxdiag.txt file. The only file that is not WHQL signed is the latest ctaud2k.sys for my Audigy2 card but that's been running on my system for a long time now.
