    Hi. I've been trying to figure out how to display a visual indicator about my volume on my Vostro 1400. Well, I figured out that all I needed to do was install the Dell Quickset driver. Works great. But I used AutoHotKey to make the media direct button pop up Winamp, because I got rid of media direct along with Vista Basic (ew) the day I got my laptop. If Quickset is running and I press the media direct button, it gives me an error about being unable to dell media experience. Is there a way around this? If Quickset is not running AutoHotKey works without a problem.

    The funny thing is my Media button stopped launching MediaDirect while everything else is working. Finally I use autohotkey to launch Windows Media Center instead. It has been working perfectly like that while Quickset is running. I can still run MediaDirect through the Program menu or shortcut.
