DAOC - keyboard and mouse issues

I have been having two issues with DAOC.

1) Keyboard - I'll start ISBoxer and all character sets will run fine. Inevitably, after 20-30 minutes, all keyboard input will fail to work. Number keys, A-Z, numpad, function keys, everything. Mouse input will work normally. If I alt-tab to another application, keyboard input will work normal for that application and if I come back to DAOC it still won't work. Quitting the game and closing the application will fix the issue. Naturally, doing this every 20-30 minutes is a little annoying. Ideas for troubleshooting?

2) Mouse input - The location of where I place the mouse pointer on the screen and the actual location that is clicked aren't the same. That is, I have to aim the cursor about 1/2 to 3/4 the length of pointer *under* the actual location that I want picked in the game. This isn't a big deal when we're talking about large in-game objects with large hitboxes, but for smaller items it is more troublesome.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

To quote a post from Lax:
The issue is a resolution mismatch. DAOC is one of the few games that does not adjust its resolution to match your window size, so ISBoxer can't enforce the resolution it wants and expects as per your Window Layout. To correct the issue, you want to make sure your Window Layout is setting the window size to the same size that the game is configured to render. So if the in-game video options say 1024x768, your Window Layout for DAOC needs to use 1024x768.

To change your Window Layout to match:
1. In the top left pane under Window Layouts, select yours
2. In the bottom left pane select "Regions" to bring up the regions editor in the bottom right
3. In the bottom right pane, click on your main region
4. Now in the properties box to the right, adjust the Size field to match the resolution configured in the game

If that's not it, then you need to try changing your display mode in game (changing this most likely requires you to restart your game clients).
