Hi Folks: I used the free keyman for years, and now am on Windows 7, so I am trialing the Desktop Light, which I'll purchase if it runs smoothly.
The program installed fine, but after a reboot, hotkeys will not activate or turn off Keyman. If I turn it on manually with the mouse, I still cannot type my foreign-language characters. It no longer works in Firefox, MS Word, Wordpad, etc. The MS Word is not a 64 bit version, but is the same version of Word 2003 I used Keyman on for years (though of course installed on my new 64 bit machine).
Many thanks for any suggestions!

| Tavultesoft Tavultesoft Staff | Can you confirm if you are using the latest build of Keyman 7.1 -- 7.1.269.0? Also you may like to try the 8.0 beta which has full x64 support -- http://tavultesoft.com/beta/ |

| HH Pe Pe | Hi folks: I have just upgraded to the most recent version, and the issue has returned. Same description as above. Could you let me know if you have any ideas? |

| HH Pe Pe | I just installed 8.0, and that appears to solve the issue. However, my installation key does not work. Do I have to purchase the program again? |

| HH Pe Pe | Just adding some more info, in case this helps:
1. I uninstalled all keyman applications. 2. I installed desktop 8.0 3. Then, I installed 7.1 in addition to 8.0 4. My 7.1 now works (hotkeys work, and keyboards function fine) |

| Marc Durdin Tavultesoft Staff | That's unfortunately not a supported configuration -- effectively you are mixing Keyman Desktop 7.1 and 8.0 components and I would not expect it to be problem free.
If version 8.0 works for you I'd suggest going that way. If you already have a version 7.1 license, please drop us a line at [email protected] and we'll figure something out. |
