My OK and WIN button launch nothing anymore.
I have a TyTN and the OK and WIN button on the front side and on the external keyboard are like inactive.
How can I restore their default behavior ? where is it located in the registry ?

HAve you installed AEButtonPlus by any chance?
Yes, I install AEbutton. Is that the reason ?
I am going to uninstall it to try if I will have my OK and WIN button back.
I installed AEbutton for the copy/paste possibility that you can assign to a button (very useful), I will miss that, but I miss my 2 buttons even more.
I uninstalled AEButton, and made soft reset.
The OK and WIN buttons are still not working :-(
I have just installed ButtonMapper instead of AEButton, I now have the OK button working again !!
But the WIN button is still not working.
Anyone knows how I could get my WIN button working again ?
My OK button is fine, but my WIN button works intermittently. Sometimes it takes three or four presses to register and bring down the Start menu. In contrast, the WIN/OK combined button under the scroll wheel always works without fail. Annoying!

TBH, I'd uninstall button mapper, then run something like SKTools to clear all errant shortcuts and and notification queue entries. Then see where you go from there. Failing that, I'd recommend a hard reset.
bydandie, good idea I will have a look at sktools.
Do you know how does button handling work under the hood ?
what process is launched when I press a button ?
Good question....
I'm thinking a way to change my hard button links without installing a 3rd party software.
Is it possible modifying Registry?
Any other idea?

No, but I do know that in the past when I tried AEButtonplus, I got the same issues as you, but with an uninstall it cured it. It may be worth reinstalling AEButtonplus and then ensure within the app the the Win and OK buttons have nothing assigned to them.
I'm not sure what it calls, ,the codes look different from what is used by things such as the Soft-Key mapper

Normally the hard buttons can be found under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys
There you will find a series of subkeys beginning with 40C
Each subkey correspond to a hard button. For instance on my ppc 40C1 is the calendar hard button. So try to find the subkeys related to Ok and Win buttons and change the default value by the path of the app you want to launch. By default, the hard buttons applications links can be found under
/Windows/AppButtons
Cheers,

ps.: I don't have an OK and WIN buttons on my ppc, so maybe its different for these two...
Thanks for the information dotFred, I have had a look on the registry and in the windows folder.
You are right the linking between the application and the hard button is made here, but only for the configurable buttons that you can configure in WM5 settings/button. Unfortunately the TyTN's OK and WIN button on the front and on the side of the PocketPC are not included :-(
I'd also like a way to configure the function of the start button, and the side OK/start button. I have installed Smallmenu and would like those buttons to open it instead of opening the standard start menu.
Any ideas?
I noticed on my 8525 that when i put some programs onto my memory card it deactivated these two buttons as well. You might try uninstalling some recent programs. (the program that caused problems with me was an expired trial version of WA2 that i moved onto my card.)
Hi,
I have a strange problem among the applications named in the subject. I love the volume control which I found in Itjes blackstone application thread. As soon as I install the large title bar application, I can´t set the volume via the volume up/down buttons anymore but with my fingers on the screen. I´m usin the standard german rom with darans TF3D application. Do you have a solution for me? I saw roms where both aplications work in harmony.
I have the same problem. I think it's related with TF3D. it work's in every other panel but on TF3D the volume keys are used to navigate
Seems ok for me.
I found the bug, as soon as I install VAlert or Resco Contact Manager this happens.
I uninstalled VAlert and unckecked the option in Resco CM to usw my buttons et voila, no problems anymore.
I have the problem with the volume control that after i used it, every screen rotate sends me to the home screen and the application i'm currently running into the background, very annoying, it worked fine with the old ROM.
I expirienced a big problem. today after instaling one of the following programs (spb online, spb traveller, Iris browser,GB-SOFT gprs-umts tweak, spb minesweep) my hard keyboard and all buttons except xpanel button and power button doesn't work anymore. in other words everything is disabled. how's that posible? have anyone expiriencedsimilar problem? how to solve this?
You should first try to uninstall each of the mentioned application one at a time and restart the phone after each uninstall.
If none works, you can always hard reset the phone.
I have also installed LauncherPro Plus, Does anyone else have thisz problem? If so, has anyone found a solution to fix it? Hitting back in contacts does not go back to home screen, it sticks in the contacts until I use the home button to go back.
and sometimes instead of going back it activates the "screenshot" mode instead right? i find that soo effing annoying!
Try long-pressing the Contacts icon on the LP dock and changing it to the Contacts application.
Hi, Wondering if anyone else has this issue and what to do...
Buttons like the compose new email pencil in gmail or the open dial pad in the dialler app don't do anything when I press since installing lollipop (i've had the 2nd update and tried a factory reset but no luck).
It is like the button doesn't exist - for example in the dialler it will open the contact behind the button instead or in gmail it will open an email.
When I rotate the screen in gmail to landscape the button is responsive again. I don't think it's hardware because it was exactly after lollipop was installed.
any ideas?
Thanks
