LeedsFan:
I have an idea that might be the problem. I'm using an X-Arcade on my pc (currently building my Mame cab) and I haave terrible problems using the keyboard in message forums like this whilst it's pluggeed into the X-Arcade.

The keyboard goes all screwy with shift lock and caps lock sticking.... keys giving differrent letters and symbols etc. This problem is known to X-Gaming on a few PCs. They say it's the PS2 port not giving out enough power to support the X-Arcade properly. Their solution is to use a USB adaptor.... but at another

WindyM:
Thanks. That highlighted my problem. I am using a KVM switch while building the PC. It is this that is causing the issue. The switch is two way, and also looks like it takes power from the keyboard connector.

I am not sure why the problem only shows in MAME and not any other program, but having removed the KVM switch,  MAME/MAMEWah works properly.

Not sure if this relates to the original post, but I am grateful that my issue is  solved - Thanks again
