Hey Gremlin,

When I first set up AutoTouch I prgrammed my Powermate for some of the hotkeys for WMP and MapPoint (Next/Prev Track and +/- & Ctrl-D for MapPoint) but all of the sudden its doesnt seem to pass the Hotkeys on through AutoTouch to the respective program...

Any thoughts?

ctrl-D works for me... not sure what to tell you... Gremlin will have to buzz in here...

you might just need to check your Powermate?? I dont' have mine in the car as of now, but I am gonna go give it a try today...

yea that was the weird thing i had it all working on the bench.. when i moved it to the car it worked on first boot and then it didnt work anymore.. (the powermate works as i have it controllin the master volume but it doesnt pass through anything else anymore...

I'll be playing with it tonight and tomorrow.. but just wondered if it was just me or not..lol

Hmm, I've not played too much with a powermate to see, the problem I had with the one I borrowed to mess with was the drivers were so bad that I never got it working. If you don't get it working let me know, and I'll add some keyboard presses that will work as next/prev track and you can program it to do those

tonight I noticed that sometimes that even though the app is 100% visible and you may have other open applications open... that AutoTouch is not the "centered" app, so you just need to tap the screen anywhere and then it will work...

I put the powermate in the car, the blue really is a cool color, but is there any way to just shut it off?? I'm just now trying to decide exactly how I want to assign all the functions...
