Does anyone have the Microsoft Internet Pro keyboard.

Or similar? I'm a little confused about something. If I start the default cd player in Win2K through Windows software, I can then control program with the buttons on the keyboard (play/pause, stop, next track, etc.). But I can't actually start the default player by pressing the Play button or any other button as far as that's concerend.
So to sum it up, I can only control the cd player if I manually start it. IS this normal or is there some setting that I can't find?

I have it. Works great 🙂

What cd player software do you have? When I put an audio cd in the drive and press the play button it actually does the "exclamation" sound. Kinda like an error or something I guess. Anyone have any suggestions?

i have that keyboard and all the buttons used to work fine with winamp (i would just use that to play your cds) until i installed another keyboard (wireless)... now none of the buttons work 🙂

<< has an IKP >>


What does that mean? I hadn't even noticed the Media button. Yeah, that brings me a choice of what to play it with. Any way I can set one as the default player so that it just starts with that prog all the time?

yeah, the first time you hit it, it should bring an option, then down arrow to your choice, and hit enter. voila.
