    Hi all

    If I dump MediaDirect on my XPS 1330 (clean Vista install without MD), is it possible to use the MD keyboard keys (fast forward, rewind, play, pause etc) in another (any other) video player app?

    I know I can map the MD 'Home' key to another function via a reg hack.

    Any guidance appreciated

    Thanks
    James

    the MD keyboard keys (the blue-led backlit) works in Vista Media Center, think it works in Windows Media Player... not sure about others
