PokerStars AHK

The new hotkeys in the PokerStars software are working for me with PT3's HUD active.
Are they working for you when PT3 is not running?

I reported the problem yesterday. I was informed to disable Windows UAC, and make sure it's running as "Administrator". I followed the steps, and the hotkeys are now working when PT is importing. Thanks, once again, for the great support.

To answer your question, WhiteRider...yes, the PokerStars hotkeys were working when PT was not importing.

I Have the same problem.

Hotkeys work when not importing. When I start to import the keyboard hotkeys stop to work and only mouse hotkeys work. Stopping importing wont get hotkeys back but exiting PT3 will. So what is Windows UAC?

[Darvini]

Oh I got it. Disabled user account control and now keyboard hotkeys are working when importing. Feel relived since just bought a mouse with 12 keyboardkeys just for the hotkey function. THX

hi,
the new hotkeys are not working for me. I am using windows vista. I ran the latest versions of pokerstars (update was yesterday iirc) and pt3 both as admin, I disabled UAC, rebooted, even played from my admin account (for some reason I couldn't run pt3 from my normal user account with UAC DISabled. whenever I rightclicked to run as admin, i would get an error message from pt3 instead of my admin login screen).

the hotkeys didn't even work when I stopped the autoimport.
any idea what I could be doing wrong here?

Are the hotkeys working for you with PT3 closed?

[bigpairde]

I just tested this. yes, when PT3 is closed, the hotkeys are working. when PT3 is running but not importing, the hotkeys do not work. :?

[WhiteRider]

You need to have PT3 configured to Run As Administrator in order for the hotkeys to work. Can you tell us what error message you get when you try to Run As Administrator, or post a screenshot of it?

ATTENTION: Windows VISTA and 7 users, you must read this...

Hi WhiteRider,

yes, I am running stars and pt3 as admin. always.
I have set up my computer so that I have an admin account (which I hardly ever use) and a normal user account. In order to run stars or any other poker client or PT3 I always rightclick, then choose 'run as admin', enter my admin PW and I am good to go.

the really weird thing is that I get this error message after DISabling the UAC:
I disabled UAC, rebooted computer (so the disabling is effective), try to open PT3 and then the weird thing happens. After rightclicking the 'run as admin' I get this error message: http://i.imgur.com/Q18xd.jpg, instead of my windows login popup.

edit: I also followed the instructions in that popup and marked the 'run as admin' in the advanced area of properties. but I still get the error message when I try running pt3 as admin with disabled UAC. :(
