After installing Trinity client on a brand new Windows XP SP2 install (no previous versions of EVE were installed) I was unable to type anything in the login name or password fields. It's as if the keyboard was not working or EVE wasn't accepting any input from the keyboard. Alt-Tab'ing out of EVE login screen I could use the keyboard just fine.
After reading quite a few posts and reviewing Knowledgebase articles, it mentioned that you have to be able to connect to api.eve-online.com (or something like that) on port 80. I tested my connection with Firefox and all seemed fine. I could ping and traceroute to the above-mentioned website just fine. I disabled Windows XP firewall completely just in case, still nothing.
Turns out that while testing something else, I set my Internet Explorer to use a proxy server which was no longer available and since I use Firefox 99.9% of the time, I completely forgot about it.
I figured there may be a few people that have a similar problem. So when you "test your network connectivity" as the knowledgebase suggests, make sure you are testing it with IE since EVE is using settings from IE it seems like.
Good adventures to all. -thinker- |

I have a very similar problem to yours. In my XP computer it does not allow me to type in the password when the log on screen comes up. I have petitioned the issue and have been told to clear the cache which I did to no avail. I have to close the game and restart it several times and once in a while the game will let me type in the password. In the times when I try to paste the password the game does not run correctly and I have to close out the instance. All of this started after the last patch and even after clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the game I still have not had the issue corrected. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Edited by: Flowersword on 20/12/2007 16:45:16 I'm having the same problem. My mouse does work, and by alt-tabbing I was able to navigate it to the right spots for buttons, but the keyboard doesn't work at all. It did work the first night I started Eve (Mon or Tues this week), but no more. Help!

I have been having the same problem. It only happens on my laptop, not my desktop. If I restart the client a couple of times, then I can enter the pw.
