WA5 keys...

thepyr0x · 17th December 2003, 04:19

Alright, after much messing around I think I finally figured out why my MX Duo wouldn't control WA5.

Does anybody possibly know why the zxcvb keys would no longer work?

I've found that if I click the Play button (modern skin) and then hit N it changes to the next song
and if I click that same button and hit b it skips back a few seconds.....but again, this is only when I hit the play button

The way the keyboard software does it is to give keyboard focus to the window and send those zxcvb keypresses to the player - thus making it perform those actions. But if WA5 won't respond to them normally, it won't respond to that either...

Now, does anybody have any clue why zxcvb wouldn't work?

They work fine for me. Did you do a clean install?

yup, clean install...

Any wierd stuff in Global Hotkeys under preferences? Not that it should matter, I have those setup to use my multimedia keys and the regular ones still work.

Other then that I have no idea. Very very odd though.

I had that problem - are you using nView by any chance?
If so, try disabling it.
