| 1268877 | 2012-04-08 01:27:00 | How can I re-assign a multimedia keyboard calculator button to a different calculator app. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 1268878 | 2012-04-08 02:07:00 | Depending on what keyboard you have, my Multi media logitech, you open the settings from the control panel / keyboard, select the cal key, and point it at the exe of the other program you want to open, then save it. Most multi media keyboards come with software for their functions and settings. See the two pic's below. 3699 3700 |

| 1268879 | 2012-04-08 02:19:00 | This is only an elcheapo Genius GK-060002/KB200. It only has 6 extra buttons. I cant find any software for it. |

| 1268880 | 2012-04-08 03:38:00 | what OS are you using | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1268881 | 2012-04-08 04:03:00 | What you can also do, if you dont mind fliddling with the reg files, is this. go to the exe of the other calculator you want to use - copy the exe file to C:\windows\system32 Then open the registry by using regedit - naviagte to to HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/explorer/appkey/18/ShellExecute On the right will be calc.exe, double click it and change it to the exact name of the calc program/exe, save and the calc button will now open the program you want. I installed speedcrunch as a test - see pic below. 3701 |

| 1268882 | 2012-04-08 06:57:00 | I have a keyboard like that which the driver only works in XP. Under Windows 7 I use this instead: sourceforge.net Probably work just fine for you too. |
