®®® Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I got a new Dell PC with XP Media Center Edition. The media keys on the keyboard (like Skip, Back, Play, Stop, etc) didn?t work in iTunes unless it was the active window. In contrast, they did work with Windows Media Player, even if it was minimized (of course).This is a known issues also with Toshiba laptops as Toshiba provides a Media Button Control Panel which is only compatible with WMP. The solution for years now was to use Gennady's tool RemoteX. Vista doesn't work with RemoteX and this is where "iTunesKeys" jumps in.You can download and read all about iTunesKeys over at the Andy's site HERE.

WetSawdustDemon Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 I had this problem with my XPS 1710 and I just used this file: http://www.everythingitunes.com/os/windows...1-04/mmkeysdll/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm running Vista 32-bit on a Dell Inspiron E1705, and mmKeys.dll works beautifully (see above post by WetSawdustDemon on May 18, 2008 for link). mmKeys.dll is a truly elegant and welcome alternative to the much-publicized and memory-hogging iTunesKeys. Many, many thanks to the developer! And the installation really is as simple as it sounds. Close iTunes, download the mmKeys.dll file, move it into your C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plugins folder, re-open iTunes, and presto!

Guest scissored Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Wow. I went to his site, and downloaded and ran his program and in no time, it worked perfectly. I can't believe how easy that was! I'd been looking for a way to do this on my Toshiba laptop (Vista) forever. Thanks a ton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
