It seems to only be this particular program that is preventing me from using hotkeys through Perl. I have tried trial versions of several simliar security software and this is the ONLY one of the group that does not work. There MUST be something blocking the hotkey request.

Oddly enough, I have noticed that none of the "special" keys work. If I use do a SendKeys using ALT or CTRL or F*, etc. they all fail. Although, I was able to do what I need by using "non-special" keyboard commands but it is a hack of hack if you catch my meaning. Still looking for a better solution/explanation??!!
