I bought a new keyboard this week, (after frying the usb controler in my old coolermaster one).
shown bottom of page
(its nicer shape than the coolermaster but apart from that 99% the same)

New one has hotkeys on the top, which Id like to use for controling winamp.

Ive set it all up in winamp.. but it seems the scan rate of the hotkeys is.. 0

It wont rescan the key untill they are released.. unlike normal keyboard keys.. Im wondering if this is a software or hardware issue... maybe theres a key in the registry somewhere that needs changing?
