ThinkOutside BT keyboard 4.2 driver is Missing!
I found that Thinkoutside should NOT just put the 4.3 driver up there without having a link that allow u to download the previous 4.2 driver.

The 4.3 driver is for people who are using activesync 4.0 but there are people (including me) that don't want to upgrade to activesync 4.0 due to wireless sync or other etc...

so we are force to use the thinkoutside 4.0 driver, but however my keyboard firmware is already updated to 1.2 ...so 4.0 is not working for me somehow....

sigh...the WM5 is curised...now i want to back to wm2003...and it's not letting me for missing a 4.2 thinkoutside drivers...why!!!

I would email them and explain your situation. In the past, they have proven themselves to be quite good with respect to customer service.

The cab file that is included in the zip can simply be copied to the device (actually without any ActiveSync at all) and be run on the PPC to install the drivers.

BTW, whether you keep AS3.8 or not, you will not be able to wireless sync with WM5 on your Axim.

I think I'm right in saying if you keep WM5 you can't sync at all with AS3.8??

I can't get my X51V to see my keyboard, either. It says a driver is missing...

Exactly - no sync = no wireless sync.

I did find them and install them. I now can get to "Connect" but when it asks for me to put in a passkey with the Pocket PC I get a grayed out screen and it won't take input.
