Microsoft Office Keyboard RT9450

Vista has recognised the keyboard but has not allowed functionality of the
'Cut', 'Copy', 'Paste' and 'Application' keys. I have tried to installl the
Intellitype 5.5 drivers but Vista will not allow this. Suggestions?

Problem persists in 5536. I can find no newer drivers or updates for the
keyboard that will restore functionality

set it up as a "Digital Media Pro" and have all
functions except the scroll wheel.

I too have the same problem. I can't find a driver that makes this keyboard
work in Vista. For me I have lost the CTRL button plus the scrool wheel and
sometimes the back and forward. But I have the cut copy and paste working
fine.

I am seriously thinking of getting another keyboard but I can't find any on
the market that has all these extra buttons - that is why I really like this
keyboard.

Does anyone know how to get Drivers to make this work with VISTA? It works
fine with winxp.

Thanks for the Digital Media Pro tip. However, this is LAME. The scroll wheel
isn't just "nice". For me it's essential as a way of cutting down on mouse
use, which causes me a lot of pain in my right shoulder. I will be annoyed
and disappointed if Microsoft doesn't fix this problem.

IMO, this was
the best keyboard ever developed. The scroll wheel on the left side of the
keyboard is and unbelievable convenience. IM sure it couldn't take a MS
programmer long to make and Intellitype version to fix this.

Interesting. Will this work for the English version on IT 5.0 or just on
the France version?

Same pb with Office Keyboard on Vista.
Now the wheel is working after I forced the installation of IntelliType Pro 5.0 (old version).
- Unzip ITP5_0Fra.exe (direct execution not possible on Vista. Fra=language)
- In property of \ITP_0Fra\IType\Setup.exe, set Compatibility mode = Win2000
- Lauch this Setup (not the \ITP_0Fra\Setup.exe !)
- In C:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliType Pro, set Compatibility mode = Win2000 for ALL the exe.

Only pb, there is an error message when trying to access to the configuration of the keyboard in Control Panel (RunDll32...). But at least all the keys are working (Cut, Past, Copy, Web... and wheel)

I guess it works for any language.
It seems 5.0 is the last version wich reference explicitly "Office Keyboard". I didn't try with 5.2 or 5.5.

...
I tried 5.2 and 5.5 but only 5.0 is working (English or French)
Choose "Office Keyboard" during the install as the config panel is not available afterwards.
5.0 is still at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

This image shows first steps.
After in C:\Program Files\Microsoft IntelliType Pro, set Compatibility mode
> = WinXP (or Win2000) for ALL the exe.

I was crushed to lose the wheel when I upgraded to Vista. This is the best keyboard ever (I have 2), now I am going to buy some more from ebay to make sure that I always have one !!

Are you getting a "Known compatibility Issues" warning. If so just ignore it. It still works. If you are getting an error that blocks you from installing, then make sure that you are changing, and running, the file in the "IType" folder, not the one in the main folder (See picture above)

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

I have installed Intelli Type Pro. Could you please tell me how to install AutoHotKey?

Have downloaded AutoHotKey but am stumped on how to get your setting for the scroll onto the computer>

I have Windows 7 now, and still my Microsoft 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

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.

btw, my keyboard is plugged on PS/2 with adaptor. Not sure this works if plugged directly on USB.

Pick it up from here:
autohotkey site
Works a dream to sort out the keyboard.

Whilst posting, here's my AutoHotKey script with a few additions of my own.

; --------------------------------------------------
; Make 'Log Off' open I-Tunes
sc116::Run itunes.exe

; --------------------------------------------------
; Make Cut Copy Paste keys work

sc117::
Send {Ctrl Down}{x}{Ctrl Up}
return

sc118::
Send {Ctrl Down}{c}{Ctrl Up}
return

sc10A::
Send {Ctrl Down}{v}{Ctrl Up}
return

Anywhere that's handy — mine's in Documents — you have a .ahk file that's part of the installation of AutoHotKey. You can either 'edit' it, or 'run' it, doing which causes it to behave as if an exe or other program.

You need to execute this ahk script; I find I have to run it for every reboot, and occasionally in between, so I have a scheduled job that runs it (quite invisibly, apart from the 'H' logo briefly turning up in the system tray) every day at 14:00.

I'm running Windows 7.

My computer installed Windows 7 32bit operating system software installation 32 of the keyboard dropping Microsoft's site. Did you hear all the keyboard keys work except for key scoffed window. Model of the keyboard is INTELLI MICROSOFT OFFICE KEYBOARD Model RT9450, the software is ITPX86_1033_7.00.260.0 and with lowered I managed to climb all the keys except the key, and rolling. Also along the software cd who bought it if a good keyboard for operating systems other than Windows 7.
Who would be grateful if he could help me with this .
Sorry if my english is not in 100% correct.

I don't understand "key scoffed Window".
.
But if you:

1) Install Intellitype 7 (latest version)
2) Select "Digital Media Pro" as the keyboard type in the Setup
3) Download and install AutoHotKey
4) Run the script as defined by 'BarCode'

Then all keys on the RT9450 will work correctly.

I'm new to the forum and a complete doorknob in understanding real simple instructions.

Knowing my own limitations I humbly ask for some help in the creation of the AutoHotkey script.

Being the doorknob I am I need instructions like:
1 open notepad.
2 build a pyramid.
3 paint it green
4 ... etc.

And no, this is no joke. I really do need the help and i find a little humor goes a long way. So if anyone is offended by this I do apologize.

Had success with Version 7.1 and Windows Vista 64 - all good THANK YOU. Installed and setup AutoHotKey. Created script and added to startup group but trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong that scroll wheel still won't work. Even if I manually run the script it doesn't work.
