I just got a new keyboard (Digital Media Keyboard 3000) and the software that came with it that is supposed to be installed first (Intellitype Pro 6.2) crashed during setup. I tried it again and it crashed. I downloaded 6.3 and it crashed also. I was able to install 6.1 Pro from a CD belonging to someone with another Microsoft keyboard and it seems to work since I can type but I would like to know why newer versions of the software (including the one that came with the keyboard) crash during setup. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just my computer (when my earlier PS2 keyboard went faulty I was not sure if it was because it was old and dusty or if there was a virus so I thoroughly cleaned my computer with AVG, Spybot, and Adware and cleaned up the registry with CCleaner and they old keyboard still was not working so I got the new keyboard). I just plugged this keyboard in with 6.1 so I have not explored all the options and I do not know if there is any functionality missing by using the older software.
Microsoft's knowledge base was of course completely unhelpful.
Same EXACT symptoms here! I thought it was MY computer, but now I know different! Good job, Microsoft. Maybe they should outsource program writing. BTW, this may be limited to my computer because the CD drive is a little flaky, but the disc never auto-ran.....I had to explore it and double-click on setup file.
