Vista Tutorial - MS Natural Media Keyboard Button Issue

I have remapped one of the buttons on my keyboard (the Messenger one)
to start a program that I use daily during work. I have Vista 64
Ultimate and the latest MS keyboard software installed, btw, but every
time I boot up or come out of sleep mode this button won't work unless
I start the keyboard app and then close it. Then it will start the
program until it goes into sleep mode or reboots. Quite annoying. The
other buttons for Internet and Email work just fine with the
alternates to MS's stuff that I use but not this custom configured
one. Anyone have any ideas or is it up to Microsoft to resolve? Thanks
for your help.

Thanks freddy, I've been there and tried those solutions but it's a no
go. Seems to be some type of initialization issue with the software.
Thanks for the reply though!

No.Thanks,

I can offer only two other approaches. First, download and install all the
updates available at the Microsoft update website, if you haven't already
done so. You might get lucky and install a fix.

Second, contact Microsoft Support directly, in accordance with the
instructions and links contained on the previous troubleshooting guide I
posted earlier. Anyone else?
