Windows key - Arma hates me.

Randomly, my window key is doing naff all in Arma.

It worked yesterday morning but stopped working yesterday evening.

It works in windows, just not in game.

I've tried full screen, windowed, the same. Can't work it out. I did do some macros on my keyboard but the windows key wasn't involved. Maybe a coincidence I don't know.

If any of you tech geniuseseseseses out there have any suggestions I'll name my next child after you. Maybe.

I'm using a Razer Blackwidow Chroma. (I may as well be using a potato)

Meh.

 
go onto controls and click onto custimze click onto custom controlz then on option 10 i belive u edit it and put your windows key

 
if your fancy keyboard has fancy software, make sure you havent done something like enable gaming mode that disables the windows key.

Some keyboards disable the windows key in games to stop you pressing it by mistake and minimising your game, its intended as a feature not a bug.

Generally you can disable this in the options of the software that comes with the keyboard, but it is normally easier to do what Billy has suggested, as it is quite a useful function, outside of Arma.
*edit, or what Zeito said :D

For Razer Keyboards the Gaming mode feature can be turned on using "fn + F10" and then a little light should go on in the top right of the keyboard (a 'G' in crosshairs I think)

 
Sorry, should have mentioned, I tried gaming mode on / off.

No windows key.

WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thanks for replies.

I'll just reinstall the bastard and try again.

 
or just re-assign the windows key as suggested in the initial reply.
