it works fine for me, even the beeping

cool. but my keyboard has a F lock ket+LED and i was wondering if you could somehow get that to flash because i dont have a scroll lock button or LED

hmm, I can't find the keycode for that button..
but I've made a small program which tells you the keycode for that button..
If you just execute it, press the F-lock button and send me the keycode, then I can try to make it flash..
cause I don't have a keyboard with that button..

and if somebody could do the same for the FN button on logitech keyboards, then I can fix that too

download keycode program here (.NET Framework 2.0 required.. download here)

GREAT SCRIPT! DarkRider, thanks a lot This is very nice

But I have 2 small requests for you, sure they are not hard to make
1: Like already requested by Jellings, it would be nice if beep not continued non-stop until you focus the chatwindow, but beeped once or twice and stopped by itself not waiting for your action
2: For status selection, I would like to have not a dropdown list but a list of statuses with a checkbox. I would like to activate script when my status is either Busy or Idle. At the moment I can choose only 1 status.

I am looking forward to the new version, thanks for the great script anyways, and thanks in advance if you implement these features in the next release

doesn't work at all for me

maybe because i don't have keyboard LED's, could you make my keyboard beep?

also my computer doesn't beep?

Well I don't think that keyboards have speakers If your computer doesn't beep when you turn it on, then it's likely that the speaker inside your PC isn't connected... And there is no script available that can fix that Maybe there should be an option to play a MP3, WAV file etc. Through the computers normal speakers?

I agree, I'd like just a couple of flashes, let me know I have a message (say if I'm watching a video) but not keep flashing as to annoy me.

Thanks,

Rich

Watch out when using a Keyflasher when using, in my case:
A Laptop with external keyboard like Microsoft Office Keyboard (USB).
After a while the computer will hang, everytime.

Sometimes you can start the keyboard after removing (and perhaps inserting it again) the USB cable for the Keyboard, but sometimes you have to brutally remove the the battery and the electric cable to be able to restart the computer.

If you have large harddisks (More than 80 Gb) filled with data a restart with the follwing Scandisk will take about an hour!

This is not just happening for "KeyFlasher". This happens with all programs that I have tested using a similar Flasher for the keyboard.
