Timer activate by hotkey

[inferno8]

Hello there

Dear members,

first of all u would like to apologize myself for my bad English i know i am not good but i do my best.

I have a question about my program , the idea is to make around 6 timers run and play a .wav sound when they are finished.

they need to be started with a hotkey like in my example "v" when pressed the pre installed "timer" counts. I made this time like i make my timers in my automations software for machines ( SIEMENS S7 V5.5 for automating machines.

The problem is that the times does not start counting when i press V when im in the game in full screen mode. But when i am in for example Firefox or windows media player and i press the key it does count.

So the question is how could i make this timer do start in my full screen mode game without using alt+tab keys. And also important i dont want to get out of the game. Thats why i used soundplay function so it plays in the background. I also tried to use file install function in a temp directory and add the .wav file but then it doesn't play the sound anymore :s . Anyway thanks in advance for anyone that just takes his time to look at my program (nooby program )
