Keyboard

Torsten12345 · 21st July 2004, 09:42

Hi,
I have one of these fancy "Multimedia Keyboards".
I was trying to make WinAmp to be my "Media" player.
That was easy.
Now I would like to have teh "Next/Previous/Stop/Play" buttons to work with Winamp. And here I am stuck.
The keyboard I am using is the "Genius Comfy KB21E".
The regkey is at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Chicony/KLP0210/Default/
The driver it starts with:
c:\windows\mhotkey.exe

Any idea??

Oh by the way. To make Winamp the Media Player of the keyboard, I changed the regkey from above:
../12/
Caption WinAmp
Enabled 1
Function 2
LinkTo C:\Programme\Winamp3\Winamp3.exe

Best

Winamp3 is 2 years old and is no longer supported.

Upgrade to Winamp 5.03 plus update patch (or wait for the sooncoming 5.04)
and go to:

Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Global Hotkeys
Checkmark "enabled"
Click "set defaults"
Your mm keys should now be automatically recognized.

Cool, thanks a lot.
I already tried without setting the checkmark to "enabled", but i guess that's the way it works

Thanks a lot.
