Dell Foldable Keyboard (correction) - Page 2

Pzervas, One thing I learned the hard way about these drivers, is that it's critical to remove the old driver before you put the new one on or it will continue to malfunction. And, Dell doen't give any support at all, even though their name is on the keyboard.

I have WM2003 with the latest driver for X5 from the Dell site and it's working ok. Like I said in the other thread, when the arrow keys decide to stop working and the keyboard freezes (which is the only problem I'm facing at the moment), I'm able to hit the control key combined with the arrow key and it starts working again. Maybe that tip will help others here.

Gemstone, I too am experiencing the annoyanace of the soft keyboard popping up when I don't need it and I dont have any fix on that. Anyone else?

Gemstone, I researched some other threads from a while back and people are recommending freeware called ZeNoKeyboard for the soft keyboard popup issue. I'm going to try it. Here's a link to the download in case anyone's interested:

Just Jen, I finally made my foldable keyboard work properly. The problem was with Outlook application on my notebook. I had entered holidays in the calendar, and outlook had automatically entered holidays for the last 5 years as well. This caused the Axim/folable keyboard not to function properly. I erased most holidays from Outlook from my notebook and left only the holidays for the cuttent year. It works fine now.

Just Jen, did you try ZenoKeyboard for stopping the pop-up keyboard from showing up when you use the external foldable keyboard? What is your experience so far?

Thanks

The ZenoKeyboard has worked fine so far. It's really easy to turn on and off.
