May 31, 200422 yr Since configuring FSAutostart, it works great but it renders useless the volume control buttons on my DELL 8200 keyboard during sim time. The volume controls are restored to full functionality after closing FS9. Does anybody know which program is responsible for controlling the Volume keys on this piece of hardware?

May 31, 200422 yr Hi JS,osd.exe enables display of the green volume bars, but is not necessary to control volume using the multimedia keyboard. mmkeybd.exe is the program that runs volume control on the dell multi media keyboard. Using fsautostart select leave running for mmkeybd.exe-Andre
May 31, 200422 yr Author Andre:Thanks for your post. I did some research earlier and discovered that osd.exe brings back the display of volume control AND also the control functionality itself--I don't know if osd.exe is supposed to do that, but it seems that reactivating mmkeybd.exe alone does not do the job.Thanks very much for your post; I really appreciate your responding to it.Cheers!JS Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.
