Arrow keys / Screen size adjust ?!!!!

[Mustardmit]

I am losing the plot, my arrow keys *were* defaulted to alter screen size when playing back video
files eg. avi/mpg etc but something has changed and now both sets of arrow keys alter the *volume*.
It looks as if I've knocked something out of kilter, if someone tell me how to get it back to the way I originally had it it would make my life much happier and save me from destroying
another keyboard.
Cheers

Who or what defaulted the keys to alter the screen size?

Are these assigned on a system wide basis i.e. they do the same whatever program you are using? (and which OS are you using?)

If not then which program are you using to view videos?

Within that program's settings, can you define hotkeys?

[Mustardmit]

Not sure about your first question, all of my video/sound is handled by the k-lite codec pack via "media player classic" up to now it's been totally reliable.
I'll have a look into the options to see if the hotkeys have got screwed up orsee if I
can find a 'restore defaults' function.
Thanks.

Media Player Classic uses it's OWN codecs (like VLC player)

K Lite is a codec pack which installs loads of codecs onto your system in the hope that and Direct Show player can use to display a video.
Installing a Codec pack is an easy option but not the best way to prevent Windows screwing up sometime.

The keyboard shortcuts are always set in the software player's settings (if available) They should be set up there.

If you have Microsoft or Logitech special software to control supported media players (like WMP, etc) you could check them, too .. as they have certain minor supported functions from keyboard.

Thanks Albags - I just went into K-lite's "Media Player Classic"s options and all the hotkeys appear to be set to where they should be eg:

Command: PnS Inc Width
Modifier: None
Key: VK_NUMPAD6
Type: VIRTKEY
ID: 864
Mouse: None
RepCnt: 5

(This is one of the troublesome ones, when I try to increase the width by stabbing at number/arrow pad 6, it now stop/frames rather than doing what it used to do ie. increasing the width of the video)

[AlBags]

Ah ok.
Check that there is no existing keyboard shortcut programmed on those keys. If so remove and try again!
