ive just bought this keyboard http://www.speedlink.com/?p=2&cat=141&pid=20947&paus=1 and i have problem using the media player keys like play/pause next ... they only work in windows media player but i am using winamp so my idea was to create hotkey script witch cathes my keyboard hotkey and sends some other keystroke combo witch is than regognized by winamp and voala its working but i cant catch my keys so ... i installed a program from the website with wich i can manipulate what the keys do and i cant set a keystroke i can only set an .exe to run when pressing the key any ideas?

scratch the exe and use the built-in hotkeys? Media_Stop etc.?

what do you mean by scratch

I mean scratch that/scrap/abandon/whatever. Means don't use it.


I mean this

Don't use it. Uninstall it and use AHK's built-in Media-keys. Unless your keyboard is not standard and doesn't *really* have the media keys. (does it need some kind of a driver/software to use?)

eaaam in the manufactuerer website is says that the keyboard uses vista drivers the program i installed is only for customizing the extra keys on the keyboard

Exactly. don't install that program at all, and use AHK to customize the keys as needed (in my opinion, this is the best approach). If the keyboard has standard media keys (As it should if it uses windows' drivers) then you can map the Media_ buttons easily with AHK.

got it all fixe here is how
i made an send ahl
set winamp global key for play with windo+p
than in the program for the keyboard i set when i plress the play key to open the ahl and it all works xD
