Windows 7 Hotkeys and Win key doesn't works

[josemabcn]

Hi,

I have a G11 Logitech keyboard with the last driver (x64 Windows Vista driver). The profiler works OK, but the win key don't works, and for example all the Windows 7 hotkeys from Link Removed - Invalid URL dont works too. Any idea?.

Thanks,

Jose
