Luckily, we have the same keyboard so I didn’t have to use “detect – keys”. I could just run “Keyboard Media Keys” straight away, WITHOUT installing the driver!
So it works completely now, the Win and ALT keys are changed, and the Eject is now delete

But is there a way to change the functions keys? Like fn+F8 (the play/pause button) to something like Control+Alt+Shift+P which I have mapped to iTunes Play, using iTunesControl?

And also change system screen brightness using fn+F1 or F2?
Maybe even open Control Panel when fn+F4 is pressed.

Thanks!

Sorry this is not yet working for you. There’s got to be a way!

Here are four suggestions that you could try. Before you try them, you should maybe read the rather lengthy (and boring!) explanations I wrote after the four suggestions so that you have a better idea of what I am suggesting.

Suggestions:
1) Put the two dll files that you downloaded from Audible (for me it was mfc71.dll and msvcr71.dll) in the folder that contains the version of AHK that I suggested (i.e. 1.0.48.5). Then run the script. This should work (i.e. no error message and an AHK icon appears in the system tray). If that doesn’t work, try 2).
2) If 1) doesn’t work, put the dll files in the following folder instead: C\:Windows\SysWOW64. That works if you have Windows 7 64 bits. (If you have a 32 bit system, the folder should be System32 like you mentioned, but I haven’t tried that). Then run the AHK script. No need to use regsvr32, just run the script. If that doesn’t work, try 3).
3) Leave the two dll filed in SysWOW64 and reboot your system. Then run the script.
4) If 3) doesn’t work, I would try using the dll files from dll-files.com. Just download both files (links below), and retry steps 1-3.

GOOD LUCK! And now some explanations:

- I am now using this AHK keyboard script on three different computers and it works flawlessly.
- All three are using Windows 7 Home Premium edition 64 bits.
- The fact that they are 64 bits is important to know where to put the dll files.
- As I mentioned in a previous post, the script worked right away on my first computer (running AHK 1.0.48.3) but for the two others I had to download AHK 1.0.48.5 from the AHK website. Both of these computers came with AHK 1.0.97.x and the script didn’t work with that version of AHK (I got the “error goto” problem that others have mentioned). I don’t know if you absolutely need 1.0.48, I just know that for me it works with 1.0.48 and doesn’t with 1.0.97.
- For the two computers for which I had to install AHK 1.0.48.5, when I initially ran the script, I didn’t get the “error goto” problem anymore but I got a message saying that mfc71.dll file was missing. Once I installed it, running the script gave a message that msvcr71.dll was missing. After I installed that second dll file, the script worked beautifully.
- For one of the computers, I got the dll files from dll-files.com as stated in a previous post (see: http://www.dll-files.com/pop.php?dll=mfc71 and also http://www.dll-files.com/pop.php?dll=msvcr71). For the other computer, I got the dll files from the Audible site as mentioned in the previous post (see: http://audible.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3888). Both of these sets of dll files have worked for me, whether they come from dll-files.com or from Audible.
- For me, it was sufficient to put the two dll files in the folder where AHK 1.0.48 is installed for the script to work. That means: I put the files in the AHK folder, then ran the script and no error message appeared: instead, an AHK icon appeared in the system tray.
- Now here is the special part if you don’t expect it: the two dll files have now disappeared from my AHK folder. This is to be expected. The two dll files have now been transferred automatically in the following folder: C\:Windows\SysWOW64. In your post you mention System32 but if you have a 64 bits system, it seems that this folder has become SysWOW64. System32 (and now SysWOW64) are folders that are used by Windows as dll repositories: when you run a new application that uses a new dll file, Windows stores a copy (in this case, for me it didn’t copy but actually transferred the files) of this dll file in this folder so that it can be used by other programs.
- If I remove either of the two dll files from SysWOW64, then the “missing dll files” message reappears when I run the AHK script. If I put the files back, the script runs perfectly.
- In both cases, I didn’t have to run anything like regsvr32.

Hope this is helpful!

I’ve had quite some troubles running the scrips using Windows 7 Ultimate and Autohotkey. I firstly ran into the same problems as mentioned above with the error message “Goto: Cannot jump….”, so I tried downloading all available versions of Autohotkey from their homepage. I found the “Basic” one to work on my pc. Then I ran into the problem of the missing DLL. I did as what was suggested and downloaded the pack from audible but found no such folder on my pc to copy it into. I then did some more google research and found out you must copy the missing DLL to Windows/systems32 folder which I did. Then register it in the registry using regsvr32. Now I got a error message saying the MFC71.dll is not compatible with the version of windows I have.

So now I am back to where I started, and have no idea of what to persue next. Even considered trying a Snowleopard installation on my Intel Desktop Board DH67CF but after going through support pages for Hacintosh it seems nearly like a full time job getting a IOS to work on a PC with a motherboard which has not been tried out before.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. And btw, Ib – I think you do a awesome job of trying to help everyone. Thanks alot for all the effort.

Yes you have to be careful where you download your dll files from. If the dll files are from Microsoft, I usually use their store or go to dll-files.com. If they are not from Microsoft, then I try to download them from a company that offers it as support for their product. In the current case, you can download the necessary dll files from dll-files.com or from the reputable support service of audible.com at the following address: http://audible.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3888. Just download and open the zip file (it contains four dll files, including the two that were necessary for me to get the keyboard to work.) Hope this helps.

And, yes you can easily find a bazilion places to download the file from by googling it.
All very very very eager to supply files for you to stick in your computer indeed…

So problem solved in 5 minutes, not really nope.

If you have a actual safe place to get it from, why not share the info?

Sorry that the workaround didn’t work for you, it did work for me on two different computers (although for the second one I did have to download two dll files; but that took a total of 5 minutes, not 5 years!). If you are not ready to go for an older version of AHK and to download two different dll files (and there are very safe sites for that) then maybe you should write about your problem on the AHK forum. Good luck!

This does not work unless you get an older version of autohotkey,

and then it doesn’t work because MFC71.DLL is missing,

and then that can only be downloaded from virussites,

and then…. blah blah blah…

Does anyone know of a solution that just works, without the need of any five year research project?
