hello all,
I have instaled a tv tuner and software in a winxp system..It works ok but
it has installed a keyboard shortcut on the system that starts the tv
application..Ctrl-t ..The problem is that when i use an application that
uses ctrl-t to open a dialog the tv app pops up instead.. This is also
disrupting some automation scripts for that app. How can i turn this
shortcut off or remap it somehow. I have looked through control panel and
tweakui but no luck. There is no option in the tv app to disable the
shortcut.
Thanks for any info.
steven.

You don't say what progream or which tuner you're using. Kinda vital info...

All I can suggest is, if possible, uninstall the software (but not the
driver), and use 3rd party software instead.

Its an asus usb mini and ezvcr software.
I thought it was a windows setting but turns out ezvcr setss an app called
agent.exe to run windows startup which sets the ctrl-t hot key..so i
disabled it from msconfig and its ok now..pretty crappy app anyway so i will
try some others anyway.
thanks for your help.

As far as I remember you right click on Properties on the programme
itself or its shortcut icon, thene, in the 'general' tavb of the page
thaty opensyou set the entry for 'Shortcut key' to 'none' to
disactivate, or whatver else you want. It seems you gave got over your
problem but this might be useful another time.

Before you do anything drastic, call or email to the support people for
the TV tuner system. It may be something that is easily changed in a
scripting file, or the registry, or something like that.

Have you done a Google or Yahoo search about your problem?

Did you look in to Windows Help?

I pulled this up:
____________________________________

To specify shortcut keys for specific programs

Before beginning this procedure, please refer to the do***entation that
came with the program to verify a shortcut was installed.

1.. Open My Computer.

2.. Locate the program file (.exe) or the program's shortcut icon.
Right-click the program file or shortcut, and then click Properties.

3.. Click the Program tab for an MS-DOS program or the Shortcut tab
for a Windows program.

4.. With the cursor in the Shortcut key box, select the keyboard key
you want to use in combination with CTRL+ALT. Shortcut keys
automatically start with CTRL+ALT. The Shortcut key box will display

None until you select the key and then the box will display Ctrl+Alt+the
key you selected. You cannot use the ESC, ENTER, TAB, SPACEBAR, PRINT
SCREEN, SHIFT, or BACKSPACE keys.
Notes

a.. To open My Computer, double-click the My Computer icon on the
desktop.

b.. Once you assign a shortcut key combination for a specific program,
you will not be able to use that key combination with other programs.
For a list of shortcut keys used by this version of Windows, click
Related Topics.

c.. If you forget the key combination for your shortcut, you can
follow steps 2 through 3 and review your shortcut keys.

d.. Using shortcut keys to open programs can often be simpler than
opening programs using a pointing device, especially when working on
portable computers.
