I had the same problem too. I'm using Windows 10 with the anniversary update.

(I'm not sure its use of a global hook stored in an EXE is safe anyway. I think you have to have these things in DLLs, because the hook runs in each process's context, so each process needs its own copy of the code. Obviously it must work for at least some people though... I wonder how? Will have to try building it when I get a moment.)

Not sure. I tried with Windows 7 compatibility mode as well, but no use.

The keyboard hook thing is safe - turns out the low-level keyboard hook is special, and it runs in the installing thread's context.

Having nothing better to do this evening I wrote my own version, which should run fine on Windows 10: https://github.com/tom-seddon/GfyKeys

It's very possible this isn't quite the same as the original, which I've still yet to actually experience - however you do get a click each time you press and release a key, so it's presumably not a million miles off.

Just noticed it does 3d sound positioning... hmmmm... I wonder if that makes a noticeable difference?
