Will WoW support a pop up windows keyboard?

Mkopec1 · 03-23-2004, 06:35 AM

My little bro has MD and cannot communicate in EQ other than pre programmed hot keys or someone sitting there typing for him.

Now while he was playing Anarchy Online, he had the use of his windows pop up keyboard and could communicate quite easily. (too bad the game sucked)

Obviously you would have to run WoW in windowed mode and switch back and forth between the keyboard and the game.

So could any of you beta people try this and see if it works? Or is it even possible to run WoW in windowed mode. A true windowed mode, not the half assed windowed node like EQ runs in?

All I know is that they have said it will run in windowed mode. Not being in Beta, I don't know if that feature is in ATM.

Windowed mode works fine, as does two WoW sessions on the same computer.
