Dell Quickset - Volume Control

[hippybob]

Hi,
I'm having a weird problem. I recently reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium on my Dell Inspiron 1545 and when I use Quickset to change the volume it adjusts the system volume AND vlc's volume at the same time. Also, play/stop in vlc responds to the play/pause Quickset keys but I just use space bar for this and can be quite annoying set up like this. How can I stop vlc from responding to the Quickset keys? I can't see any where in Quickset to change this and I have tried deleting the hotkeys in vlc but it made no difference.
Thanks

Hi. I am having the same problem on my Dell Inspiron 1318. Have you found out how to fix this? Quite annoying thing....

No I haven't solved this yet, it's driving me mad. I will try uninstalling both programs and see if that makes any difference. The annoying thing is that this wasn't happening with the previous windows installation.
