Driver Troubleshooting

 

If you are experiencing problems with your keyboard, please check the following:

 

1. Symptom: The Smart Office Keyboard Software does not work properly

    Solution: 

- Please make sure if there are any keyboard hot key drivers installed. Remove all keyboard hot key driver first and re-install Smart Office Keyboard Software to solve the problem.

2. Symptom: Add/Remove Smart Office Keyboard Software or Re-install

    Solution: 

- After installing the Smart Office Keyboard software, the Smart Office Keyboard icon will display in the system tray. If you want to reinstall the software for some reasons, you must delete the Smart Office Keyboard driver from your operating system first. For more detailed information, please refer to KeyMaestro Input Device Driver Uninstallation

Note: If you want to upgrade your Smart Office Keyboard software or it does not work properly, you can re-install it to fix this problem

3. Symptom: Other software applications can not be installed properly

    Solution: 

- If it fails to install other software applications, you have to remove the Smart Office Keyboard driver from your system memory by right-clicking on the Smart Office keyboard icon and select "Exit". Then install the desired software applications. After completing the new software installation, restart your computer and then the Smart Office Keyboard icon will show in the right-bottom taskbar.

4. Symptom: The repeating rate of previous & next key of multimedia function cannot match the speed of CD-ROM driver

    Solution: 

- If you hold on previous or next key, the CD player will continuously search previous or next tracks until you release it. If the speed of your CD-ROM driver is too slow, it will do the search persistently. We recommend you to change a better performance CD-ROM driver.

5. Symptom: CD or Multimedia Player can not be launched

    Solution: 

- Make sure CD or Video software and hardware for these functions are properly installed in your system.

6. Symptom: Multimedia Player can not play VCD title or MPEG file

    Solution:

- Make sure you have installed Windows Media Player version 7 or later properly. If not, please download the Windows Media Player version 7 or later from Microsoft Web site.

7. Symptom: The short cut keys' default functions of Microsoft Windows can not be used

    Solution: 

- The Office Keyboard driver takes over some resource of the shortcut keys' default functions of Windows operating system.

- The following 5 combined keys cannot be used again: "CTRL+ALT+E", "CTRL+ALT+P", "CTRL+ALT+O", "CTRL+ALT+D", "CTRL+ALT+C".

8. Symptom: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Calendar cannot do action, but the onscreen can show up

    Solution: 

- Please make sure you have installed the Office Applications completely. If Office Applications are not fully installed, those keys can only see the onscreen display and do not work.

9. Symptom: Sleep key does not work properly

    Solution: 

-If you have problems using the sleep button, make sure that the power management in your PC has been enabled both in the BIOS and in Windows. For more information on your PC's BIOS settings, refer to your PC's manual. For more information on how to enable the power management features in Windows, refer to your Windows manual.

(1) Please open the Windows Start Menu Settings Control Panel Power Options Hibernate check the "Enable hibernate Support" and click OK to enable the Sleep function.

 

(2) 

 

The Sleep function must be enabled in your Windows operating system before you use the Sleep key. The way to enable the Sleep function is to open the Windows Start Menu Control Panel Power Options Choose what the power buttons do check Sleep under "When I press the sleep button" and click Save Settings to enable the Sleep function. 


10. Symptom: The "Log Off" key does not work:

      Solution: 

If you press the log off key and the log off dialog box does not appear, but just opens the Windows Start Menu, please press the log off key again. The target log off function will confirm the required action.

The Log Off key function must be enabled because the default of Log Off function is disabled in Windows® 2000. The way to enable the Log Off function is that open the Windows Start Menu and find the "Taskbar & Start Menu" under the "Setting" function. Choose the Taskbar & Start Menu Properties, select Start Menu Settings in Advanced window, choose the "Display Logoff" item and click OK to enable the Log Off function.

11. Symptom: The "Un-mark" function cannot be released:

      Solution: 

- Press the "Mark" key, you can use the scroll wheel to select and mark items. With pressing the "Cut", "Copy", "Paste" keys, you can edit your document and un-mark the select items. If you use mouse to click those selected items, the "Mark" function will always lock. In order to release the "Mark" function, just press the "ESC" key once.

12. Symptom: The functions of the enhanced office keys do not match the key's printed name or do not work

      Solution: 

- All enhanced office keys follow the definitions of the standard Microsoft shortcut combination keys. They do not need any support from software driver. In few cases, when you press the target enhanced office keys, they do not work or produce different result. This means the applications do not support the standard the definitions of the standard Microsoft shortcut combination keys and the target functions, or the software applications conflict with the definitions.

-We recommend you to contact with the software application dealer or download the new version to upgrade your applications from Microsoft Web site. For example, use Office 2000 to replace Office 97, or use IE 5.0 to replace IE 4.0.

13. Symptom: € The Euro sign doesn't work

      Solution: 

-Make sure the LED of  both "Office Wizard star.gif (1892 bytes)" and "Num lock" are on. The Euro sign € only works when both of the Office Wizard and Num Lock are activated.

 

14. Symptom: The enhanced function keys (embedded office keys) do not work:

      Solution:

- It will give the F1-F12 keys new functions if the the Office Wizard  Key function is enabled. The new functions can support under Microsoft Office (Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and Power Point), IE and other newer applications almost. If the new enhance function keys are used under any older versions or other applications, unexpected results may occur or some enhance function key will not work at all. However, in the meantime Microsoft recommends that all software applications should support Microsoft shortcut combination keys. We recommend using Office2000, XP (2002) and IE5, IE6 or later versions.


Older software applications that do not support enhance function keys
(embedded office keys), for example:

 

15. Symptom: The embedded SEND key function does not work:

      

      Solution: 

- In few case and with some European languages, the SEND key cannot work in Microsoft Outlook when the Microsoft Outlook menu item Use Microsoft Word to edit email messages” is highlighted. To assign the shortcut key for the SEND function, you should carry out the following steps:

(1) Open “Microsoft Word” application and click on “Tools”, “Customize”.

 

(2) Click on “Commands” and “Keyboard”.

 

 

(3) Select “All Commands” from “Categories” and “EmailSend” from “Commands”. Click and move cursor to “Press new shortcut key” blank area then Press the SEND key (the SEND key build on the Keyboard, that is; please make sure Keyboard office lock indicator is already enabled). You will see the “Ctrl+Returnor “Alt+S” replace blank area after you press the SEND key. When you click the “Assign” select item, the “Ctrl+Returnor “Alt+S” will show under “Current keys”.

 

(4) Click on “Close” and “Word” application to complete the setup process. Re-test the SEND key function under “Microsoft Outlook”; The SEND key function should now be working properly.

 

Warning: Please don’t click the “Reset All” select item; or you will lose all shortcut key functions.

Note: It is the best way of using the SEND key. You should press “Shift+Tab” to let the cursor jump to “Subject” after completing your email edit, and then press the “SEND” key. Otherwise the “SEND” sometimes fails to work.

If above troubleshooting suggestions still do not solve your problem then please refer to your direct dealer for technical support.
