Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450
Barcode or anyone else. I just can't get it to work. I unzipped it. Switched it to windows 2k and I still get the notice saying it is not compatible. Any suggestions? -- bigsherv ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bigsherv's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=31453 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=529355 http://forums.techarena.in |

I still had problems to install IntelliType 5.0 even when all .exe files where in the compatibility mode. Vista still gave an error about incompatibility. My Vista Ultimate was installed by conversion from Windows XP SP2. Under XP SP2 IntelliType 2.0 was installed and this caused the error. You can't simply deinstall IntelliType 2.0 under Vista because the uninstall also doesn't run because "it is not supported". The solution is to make a backup from your registry first Then you remove all instances of IntelliType from the registry with Regedit. Then you can safely remove the map c:\program files\Microsoft IntelliType 2.0. Now you can successfully install IntelliType 5.0 I'm happy again to use all features of the Office Keyboard Thanks to all Dikkie -- Dikkie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dikkie's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=32883 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=529355 http://forums.techarena.in |

Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450
Hi all. I have *Windows 7* now, and still my Mircosoft Office Keyboard. The trick of my previous post for Windows Vista doesn't work under Windows 7. So i found something new to have the keyboard working completely, *scroll wheel included*. 1. Install *Microsoft IntelliType Pro 7* (last version), select Wireless Desktop Elite Keyboard or Digital Media Pro. All special keys should work, appart the scroll wheel. 2. Install *AutoHotkey *from http://www.autohotkey.com/ 3. Write this *script* for AutoHotkey: ; -------------------------------------------------- ; Lines that start with a ; semicolon are comments. ; Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450: Making the ScrollWheel work under Windows 7. ScrollUp/Down Normal, Fast, Faster, Fastest sc10B Up::Send {WheelDown} sc111 Up::Send {WheelDown 3} sc112 Up::Send {WheelDown 5} sc11F Up::Send {WheelDown 7} sc10B Down::Send {WheelUp} sc111 Down::Send {WheelUp 3} sc112 Down::Send {WheelUp 5} sc11F Down::Send {WheelUp 7} Return ; -------------------------------------------------- 4. Make this script start at *Windows startup* with a shortcut in Start menu. This is working fine for me. The wheel sends 4 special codes depending of the speed you turn it, simulating a key up or down press. These codes are redirected to WheelUp/Down by AutoHotkey, with the number of steps. You can tweak the number following WheelUp or WheelDown. -- BarCode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BarCode's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/22225.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...ces/529355.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Barcode, Your responses helped me sort everything out. My beloved 9450 works perfectly again (Under W7) just like it did under XP (but not, of course, V****) Thank you from all of us for your generosity and time in posting such helpful information. -Happy New Year- to you from a friend in Wiltshire, England. -- Cenfus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cenfus's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/166225.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...ces/529355.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

I dont have a PS/2 built into my MB, but I have one on a PCI card installed. Computer still recognizes the keyboard as USB when its plugged into the PS/2 port on the card and the wheel does not work, even with the modifications listed. Any idea how to get the computer to recognize the keyboard as being installed as PS/2? "BarCode" wrote: Hi all. I have *Windows 7* now, and still my Mircosoft Office Keyboard.
