Global hotkeys not global
 

Hi all. I recently did a few things -

Upgraded to W7 from Vista
Upgraded to the latest version of Winamp

I am now unable to use Global Hotkeys anywhere beyond when Winamp or Windows Explorer are the active programs/processes. When inside a browser, ie. Firefox, or a game, the hotkeys don't respond.

I have a Logitech keyboard that has worked previously with this. I had that pointer keyboard program as well, but uninstalled it because it doesn't seem to do much for me and wasn't installed when things were working.

Any ideas? Thanks

global hotkeys?
 

Are you talking about the "play" "pause" "forward" "backward" buttons on the keyboard?

I ask because I noticed that on my logitech keyboard, those keys don't control Winamp, and don't seem to do anything at all. I just upgraded to Winamp from iTunes, those keys controlled iTunes just fine. I wondered if I'm having the same problem you described. I'm using Win 7 Ultimate, and Winamp 5.61

If so, did you ever find a solution?

I was actually trying to use the numpad. Thinking the numpad may've been the problem, I tried normal letter keys as well, but to no avail. My media control keys share buttons with F1-12, so they're not the most convenient to bind to. Still haven't figured it out.
