RivaTuner uses native Windows hotkey handling scheme by default. It works flawlessly under Windows2000/XP, but under Windows 9x almost all standard keyboard messages are suppressed when any DirectInput application use the keyboard in exclusive mode. This results in ignoring RivaTuner's hotkeys when the most of games are running.
You may use this value to force RivaTuner to emulate hotkeys handler when running such applications. When this value is not equal to 0 RivaTuner scans the keyboard within specified time intervals (ms) and generates required hotkey related messages when it is necessary.
Note: RivaTuner doesn't check crosslinked hotkeys in emulation mode.
