I just picked up a Dell Multimedia Enhanced keyboard (Model SK-8135) off the 'Bay' for a cheap price and it works fine with Windows 7 but is there anyway to program what the enhanced Multimedia keys do?
I found the program called Event Ghost (Which is why I'm here on this forum) and it seems to do what I want it to but how do I disable the built in windows Functions of the keyboard? I mean I press the Calculator button I get the program I specified in event ghost + the Default windows calculator and another example I changed the volume to only do Winamp and both the Winamp and the System Volume change Is there a way thorugh Event Ghost or Windows 7 (I am using Windows 7 Ultimate) to disable the default HID Functions?
I know the keyboard is from the XP days and MS released Power Toys (For XP only) that allowed you to change what the enhanced keys did is there anything like that for Windows 7?
The keyboard is model SK-8135 and it seems alot of people like this keyboard as I do and I want to get Winamp to recognize the enhanced keys (Play/Pause/Next, Prev Track Stop Etc) It works fine with Windows Media Player but I lke to use Winamp for my Primary Music Player
Thanks

If all you want to do is control Winamp with the mm keys on the keyboard, you don't really need EG. Winamp's default configuration does NOT enable it to see the multimedia keys on any keyboard, that's why it's not responding when WMP does.
To enable it, go into Winamp's options, "Global Hotkeys" and enable the tickbox called "Enable default multimedia key support..."
Cheers,

Re: Enhanced Keyboard Disabling the default functions to remap
I wanted to do a little more then what enabling the MM Keys in Winamp would do. I wanted to be able to pause the track and Fast forward/rewind by holding the next/previous track button ( I have not figured out how to do that yet with Event Ghost as I just got started with it) and I also wanted the default buttons to launch different things as I don't use the default Windows programs. I also want to control the Winamp volume and not the system volume but as of now it will control both the WA and the system volume but I would like to disable the system volume from changing with the Volume knob
