O.P. Multimedia keyboards
I have one of those keyboards with all those special buttons on top (web forward, back, media player, ect)

What I'm wanting to do, has to do with the media player buttons.  They only work for WMP, but I would like them to work for Winamp, and Winamp only.  And I want the volume control Winamps volume, instead of the system volume.

The keyboard in made by InterAct.  Model# KM-2501.  The dirvers that came with it were utter shit, so I did away with them long ago.  Can what I want done, be done?

RE: Multimedia keyboards
I have media keys on my keyboard, and they work with Winamp out-the-box. That might be because I have Winamp 5, I'm not actually sure. It does all depend on the drivers: try the manufacturer's site, get the latest drivers from there.

Woraug, have you try in Winamp go to Options>Preferences, choose Global Hot Keys and make sure is enabled?, then you can configure the media keys :)

It works for me, oh and make sure that winamp is the default player...
