I am using Microsoft Windows, the menu button on the KeyPoint does not bring up the menu screen after I install the driver. How to fix this problem?
A1. Please unplug the USB KeyPoint Receiver, and uninstall the current driver first, then restart your computer. In Windows 2000/XP, during the re-installation, please DO NOT plug the receiver before the system asked to do so; In Windows 98SE/ME, please complete the driver re-installation first and then plug the USB Receiver to the computer. Q2. I am using Windows Media Player, when I press the Volume control; the volume bar on the player does not move at all, what should I do to make it work?
A2. The default setting for the volume control is for the system sound volume control, therefore, even the volume bar on the Windows Media Player window does not move, but the volume still will change on the Notification area. However, you may reset the volume control button as keystroke to control the volume bar on the Media Player window. Q3. In Windows Media Player, why does the Rewind and Fast Forward button does not work?
A3. Windows Media Player does not support Rewind and Fast Forward function, therefore, those two buttons DO NOT work, but you can program these two buttons to do other functions of your choice 32 World Wide Office Macally U.S.A Mace Group Inc. 15861 Tapia Street, Irwindale, CA 91706, USA Tel: 626. 338.8787 Fax: 626. 338.3585 e-mail: sales@macally.com website: www.macally.com Macally Europe Teklink Europe Unit 14, Kerkenbos 10-111 6546 BJ Nijmegen, The Netherlands Tel: 31.24. 3731410 Fax: 31.24. 3731134 email: sales@macally-europe.com website: www.macally-europe.com Macally Taiwan Chia Shin Technology Corp 6F, No. 57, Shing Jung Road, Taipei, Taiwan 114, R.O.C.
