    I use iTunes as my primary media player on my Studio 1535. I cannot use the media keys to skip tracks, pause, etc. unless I am actually in the iTunes program. As soon as it is minimized the media keys stop responding. Is anyone else dealing with this?

    Also, the media key to launch the media player does absolutely nothing. It lights up when I press it, but does nothing within Windows. I have looked all over the place for some type of setting in order to specify the default action of the key, but to no avail. Any help with this would be great as well.

    Thanks,

    Justin
