| | Keyboard and Vista SP1 I use a Microsoft Wireless Desktop Elite keyboard and Intellitype Pro 6.2 After installing SP1, three of the keyboard buttons must be disabled in order to work properly...Web/Home, Mail and Calculator. If they are not disabled, they will run two instances of the program. For example, two calculators will appear. I tried uninstalling Intellitype Pro. The results were that all buttons were dead, except the three mentioned above. They still worked, even though the controlling software wasn't there. These three buttons are being controlled elsewhere, and it started with SP1. Can anyone shed any light on this? |

| | Re: Keyboard and Vista SP1 As I said, even when Intellitype Pro is uninstalled, something is still controlling those three keyboard buttons. Technically, they should be dead, as are all of the other buttons. But not these three. Apparently, no one here has noticed any problems with a MS wireless KB and Vista SP1. The KB worked as advertised prior to SP1.

Can anyone shed any light on this? a Microsoft Internet keyboard, and Intellitype has not been installed, but those keys still work. On another computer I have a Logitech wireless keyboard with Setpoint not installed, and the same buttons work on that keyboard. This is with XP Pro and Vista, so I would say those functions are built into the OS. As expected, the media buttons don't work. |
