Ok, so last night I changed my OS to Windows7. Reinstalled DAoC and am in the process of redoing bars (I forgot to save them :<

I ran into the problem of me not being able to use my Windows Key as a qbind like I did when I used Windows XP. The key works fine out of game, but just not in game. I know there is a little slider thing next to the 'MR' button on the G15 that disables the Windows Key totally, but this is not the problem. Like I said, the key works fine out of DAoC. I'm guessing it's a weird compatibility issue or something and I am looking for some help happy

Thanks.

I have found that the mouse/keyboard set-point software needs to be run in admin mode for the keys to register correctly in game. Also there is a box for "game detection" that actually disables those keys. The newest set-point software allows you to customize keys specifically for the game as well. This allows you to have different functions set for different programs etc. Not using the G series keyboards, but I'm thinking the software might be similar.

Yeah, I had a similar issue with my Logitech mouse and DAOC (and some other games) with Windows 7. Either run it as administrator or disable Windows UAC (which is a safety measure against running unauthorized software, so you may not want to do this if you want better protection against malware).
