[solved] "Unable to register hotkey for Cus."

Post by David George »

I recently installed Windows Live Mesh.
Around the same time I started getting the above message in a 'Hotkey registration error' window whenever I start UltraVNC Viewer DirectX.
When this happens I can connect to LAN machines only, not to WAN machines.
Exitint Live Mesh doesn't change the problem though.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled UltraVNC and that didn't help either.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks in advance,

David George

This problem, which occurred on 2 computers, was fixed by uninstalling UVNC, running CCleaner's registry cleaner, then reinstalling.

Alas, the fix in the previous post worked on a WXP Home SP3 desktop machine, but did not fix the problem on a ThinkPad running WXP Pro SP3.

Help, please!

How can I change this post to "Unsolved"? The problem persists; if I Google the error message I get 1 link only, and that's to this post.

Help is needed.
