Multiplicity intercepting special keyboard keys?

Tuesday, January 10, 2006 by Vykranth | Discussion: Stardock Support General

Hello,

I am puzzled by a behavior shown by Multiplicity. When Multiplicity is running, most of the special keys (the media player control keys for example) are disabled on a MS Wireless Desktop Elite keyboard on the primary machine. Some of the keys (the sleep key namely) work fine.
When Multiplicity is unloaded, everything is back to normal.
Does anyone have experienced the same problem?

Windows XP SP2
Multiplicity 1.02 Retail
IntelliType Pro 5.5 x86

Thanks in advance,

Vyk.

My special keys work when the mouse is on the primary but [expectedly] have no action [on the primary] when mouse focus is on the secondary. I will have to test later to see if they have effect on the secondary [I believe they do, at least I think the 'Mute' does].

Tested with almost all the "special" keys (Back, forward, stop, refresh, search, favorites,mail, media, mute, plsy, stop, next, volume +/-, My Computer, Calculator) and they worked.

I did not test Power, Sleep, Wake up.
