Client set it up and had trouble configuring the keys... so I was called
in.

Double checked everything... why is there no ability to point say "My
Documents" to a folder name?

Anyways, uninstalled the software, re-installed it with the same results.

So I installed it on my system today - with the same dismal results.

Anything get this stuff to work properly?

TIA.

PS, it's been installed on two different one year old laptops... the
batteries are fine and it came wit the latest software. So what gives?

Cheers!

Best advice I can offer is take it back and get a Logitech. Logitech
desktops/keyboards/mice are of higher quality and have better drivers and
software than does Microsoft.

If you are running v5.2 of the software, just go to Key Settings > Double
Click My Documents > Choose Custom: Start program, web page, file > Next >
Type in the path of the folder (ie D:\Documents) > Finish.

Works for me. Where are you running into a problem exactly?

Think I found the problem... switched out the batteries on the keyboard and
then switched them back in... and now it all 'just works'.

Strange!

Thanks!
