Just wanted to give everyone a little tip on the IntelliType software for the Microsoft Wireless Optical Keyboard for Bluetooth: you can use IntelliType 5!
This is what I did:
- Got the WIDCOMM stack working properly with my MS Bluetooth Transceiver, and installed the IntelliType 4.9 software off the CD.
- In notepad, open up [IntelliType Install Dir]\type32.inf, and open up the find/replace box. Tell it to find _VID&0001045e_PID& and replace it with &VID_045e&PID_ (Lion_III's fix).
- Updated the "HID Keyboard" device in Device Manager with type32.inf in IntelliType's install directory.
- Download IntelliType Pro v5 here (http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/4/4/04485C0D-2BDE-4EF7-BFCF-85A6B99E7FC0/ITP5_0eng.exe)
- When the installer asks which Keyboard you have, tell it you have the "Wireless Multimedia Keyboard".
--> You're done. Enjoy IntelliType 5.
Lastly, thanks to everyone on this board for the information about the MS Bluetooth Transceiver; with it, I would still be using the crappy things provided by MS.

Does anyone know if this trick can be used to get the MS bluetooth keyboard working with Win2k?
If not I might have a play with it if I can stomach re-installing win2k

Does it not just work anyway when using the widcomm stack?

Yep, the keyboard is correctly recognised without any tinkering.

Easier said than done getting the MS stuff to work with WIDCOMMs, how did you do it exactly? [I've tried Jon Scafes stuff]
