Windows Key and Vista

[evilzucchini]

Okay, I did a search and came up with nothing.

My problem is that BF2 allows me to assign the windows key to a command. I use it for sprint. I did it on my XP machine without a problem.

However, now that I have switched to vista, I can use it to sprint, but only for a short time and then the vista login screen comes up and I have to enter my password.

Obviously this is bad because usually I hold down my sprint for too long when trying to get away from someone. . . I don't think I have gotten back into the game alive yet.

Any suggestions? Everything I find in my searches is about turn the functionality of the key off altogether, and I don't want that as I use the key. . .

Thanks

I use the windows key for sprint, I don't have this problem, but then I don't login to vista as I am the only user and have UAC disabled.
I don't recommend using the windows key tho, as if you play cs:s, dod:s, tf2 etc it will take you out the game, and you can't help but press it while moving after playing bf2/2142. :shakehead:
I used a program called keytweak to remap the key, don't know if it works with vista.

Cool, thanks, I can try these things.

The reason I like to use it is because it gives me three keys under my thumb. I know it can screw me in other games, but I adjust fairly easily.
