This issue may actually relate to an addon problem... so I apologize if this thread doesn't belong here.
Anyway, up until today I've been able to use CTRL-M as my toggle for the world map pane. But for some ridiculuous reason, it stopped functioning today. All of my other CTRL-type keybinds work just fine... which led me to believe that it could have been one of my addons. Unfortunately, even after disabling all addons, the problem still existed. The only thing different that i did today, was remote access into my work computer since I had to work from home. And since my dept uses Windows Live Messenger, I downloaded the Windows Live Essentials 2011 pack I think. Afterwards, in-between work and farming (I know, I know
) I could no longer use CTRL-M to toggle my world map pane. I tried everything I could think of; disabled all addons and logged in, no go; conducted a windows update and installed a couple of 'em; but still it was not working. I looked at all of my keybinds as well, and CTRL-M isn't assigned to anything else. No other mods utilize that function as far as I know (besides, disabling everything didn't even work).
I then tested this on my fiance's comp and everything worked fine. There were also a few occasions where I was actually able to use that keybind when first logging in - then after 5 or so minutes, it stopped working. I'm out of ideas... and would like to know if anyone else has encountered this issue? I've since uninstalled Windows Live Essentials and suspect the culprit could be the "Windows Live Mesh ActiveX Control for Remote Connections." However, I'm not an advanced tech to know these things and would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Just FYI - my OS is 32-bit Win7 Home Premium
