Acer ASpire 5630 Media Keys not working

I bought my aspre 3 days ago, and I have no tried the media keys until today and I found out they do not work, not on WMP, winamp, anything.

Is this a software problem or a hardware problem? I haven't uninstalled anything on it yet and it came with vista.

 

do you have lauch manager installed?

 

hi, i had the same problem..

replace the file "MMKEYBD.CFG" in your "Launch Manager" folder with this one and restart the tool.
winamp works, but its not tested with wmp.

I too am having problems with the Media buttons. I for some reason am unable to use the buttons in Winamp. I was wandering if it had anything to do with my OS. Do you guys have Vista or XP. I just bought the laptop new from circuit city and I reformatted it to put on XP and Kubuntu on it. I would rather use the buttons for Winamp and would appreciate any help anyone could give me.
