Having problems?
* Only for Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10
It uses a specific Windows Vista+ API to mute the microphone so don't bother trying to start it on XP or earlier versions. Not fully tested on Windows 8 and 10, some errors can occur.
* Windows UAC
The program uses a low level keyhook to catch keys outside its own window and thats why it works in games that otherwise disable Windows hotkeys. Because of that some antivirus program will whine about that. Also Windows will whine about that, so you must have UAC disabled if you're not a administrator on your account or the program will not be able to catch keys.
* Getting access denied?
Start the program as administrator, right click the exe and select properties, go to compatibility and check the "Run as administrator"-box.
* ALT-keys not working?
* ALT-keys not working?
If the ALT-keys are not working as intended, clear the key-window (1 to 5) you want to have bound to ALT and close the program.
Run regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PTT, edit the key you cleard and type "a4" for left or "a5" for right ALT-key, save and close, right click and run Push To Talk as administrator.
