I have a Microsoft Wireless keyboard with the media buttons and all that fun stuff. iTunes is my main music player, and I can use my Pause/Forward/Back/Stop Keys when iTunes is open, but not when its minimized..

Any ideas? I had one for my quicklaunch buttons on my laptop, but I don't think that would work with my desktop..

Thanks in advance.

Scratch that, Fixed it. For the future, here's how.

The files called "mmkeys.dll".

All you do is go to "C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins" and move the mmkeys.dll file into the folder. Restart iTunes and your good to go.
