Solve : function keys don't seem to be handshaking on new computer running DOS program?

Answer»

I have an old 386 computer that runs a DOS program for a test machine I have.  I had the hard drive CLONED over to a newer machine with PS/2 keyboard CONNECTIONS..  Everything seems to work fine except there is one program that I need to run to download some software to my test machine and it requires the use of the function keys.  When I use the F2 key on the new cloned computer it returns an error " VAL string isn't a proper number"

The old 386 machine WORKS fine.  Is there something on the newer machine that isn't HANDSHAKING properly with the test machine?

Is there anything I can change?   The cloned software on the drives seems identical.  I've eliminated the leyboard being the problem as I can use both the old AT 5 pin or the newer PS/2 keyboard with my old 386 machine and they both work fine.If it happens on both KEYBOARDS it's either the App itself...or the language layout/setting on the keyboard.

Does Shift F2 help ? ?
