Intellitype won't stay installed

[Paul_B]

Hi,

I'm running XP Home, with the Natural Multimedia keyboard.

When I try to install IT 6.1, after uninstalling 5.5, I get an
error just as the install should be completing:

setupstb.exe, appver: 6.10.156.0 modname: kernel32.dll

etc. Then when I go back to vers 5.5, it installs ok, but the
next time I boot the system sees the board as new hardware and
tries to install drivers anew. I get a message that the drivers
about to be installed are not windows certified. That tells me
it's trying to install other than IT drivers. Maybe it's not
reading the board correctly? But even though I'm technically
without drivers at this point, the board functions perfectly,
including the special key mappings.

I'm using a Logitech mouse, but i'm using XP's standard drivers
for it (because I don't like the LT software). So I don't think
there's a conflict there.

Any help would be appreciated.

I wonder if you properly uninstalled 5.5? You might have more success in going into device manager and deleting your keyboard, then rebooting, when the keyboard is found, then point to your install location for the 6.6 software.

Yes, all that was done. Turned out my windows install was heading south.
Had to do a low level format/reinstall today. Just coming up for air.
Hopefully this problem will be solved - I'll know when I get to it.

Thanks,
