How to Turn Off The "Hot Keys" ?

[Marc Hildebrant]

Group,

Sometimes, the Hot Keys stop working. For example the space bar stops playing/stopping the music and the I key will not interpolate.

Is there a master "turn off" key that my fingers hit by accident ?

Hi Marc,

There is no master key that would turn off all the hot keys (that I am aware of). Not sure what could do that; I have not witnessed that.

Craig,

Well, it happened a couple of times so far. It must be some of the keys in the bottom left of the keyboard.
Maybe it's a feature with Windows 7 ?

Marc,

I will ask Rick if he knows about something that may be undocumented; that is the only thing that I can think of. But, even so, I have never crossed that pathway here, so who knows.

Marc,

I wonder if "Caps lock on" could do that?

Craig,

Caps Lock doesn't seem to have an affect that I can see.

Hi Marc,

hmmm - I still do not know what it could be. Hopefully, someone will have an idea here. It does not seem that Rick knows what it could be.

ps - I do not know anything about your sound-card - - - but it might be a good idea to "checkbox" the "Re-Initialize on Play" checkbox in the soundcard preferences section of the Diamond Cut Preferences area of the software. That does not seem to match your systems symptoms, but, who knows.

Group,

Well, I can't make the problem happen again. On my wife's system, she had the keyboard "lock up" recently....Both systems, hers and mine had a "big" windows update with the usual restart needed after upgrade message. After the restart, my wife's system was as normal as any software thing is.

My audio system went through the same big upgrade at the time that the Hot keys stopped working...so, seems like a Microsoft thing at this time.

I was just checking as maybe there is a Diamond Cut Hot Key On/Off switch that I didn't know about ?

Hi Marc,

Ok - keep us in the loop - - -
