Re: Keyboard Problem - MS Office Keyboard

Nick,

I have an Office Keyboard and was able to get the wheel and buttons working
in Vista by doing the following:

Download Intellitype 5.0 from here
[url]http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3d0ba152-5d92-4772-a2fd-5ab35c750685&DisplayLang=en[/url]

Force the installation of IntelliType Pro 5.0 (old version).
- Unzip ITP5_0Eng.exe (direct execution not possible on Vista.)
- In property of \Microsoft Intellitype Pro 5.0\IType\Setup.exe, set
Compatibility mode = Win2000
- Launch this Setup (not the \Microsoft Intellitype Pro 5.0\Setup.exe !)
- In C:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliType Pro, set Compatibility mode =
WinXP (or Win2000) for ALL the exe.

It works, only pb is there is an error message when trying to access to the
configuration of the keyboard in Control Panel (RunDll32...). But at least
all the keys are working (Cut, Past, Copy, Web... and wheel).

Thanks to BarCode for this tip.

Good Luck,

Mike
