[Installation]

Necessary with a few very early Multimedia keyboard drivers 
too, up to version C.00.01 :
Prior to installation, uninstall any instance of the 
previous Multimedia keyboard drivers you may have.
(for the Kayak and Brio proprietary drivers developed in 
1996/1997).

With all later revisions than the C.00.01: 
you can upgrade directly without uninstalling it first.
If the setup does not prompt the user for a reboot, the 
driver is immediately usable.

Run Setup.exe, optionally with the -s silent option. 

Add the -noreboot option if you don't want to reboot after 
the install is performed and if required by the setup.

[Known issues]

Win95 - If an application installs more recent versions of 
the Dlls MFC42.dll and msvcrt.dll, the user is prompted for 
upgrade confirmation, even during silent install

All - Some strings are truncated on the help panel (like 
"Internet Explorer"), in French, Thailand...

NT4 - i8042prt logs an error when a mail is manipulated 
(received/read)

Win98/Win2k - An application launched or restored with 
the keyboard could not be activated (i.e. the main window go
es foreground) in many cases.

All - The feature 'Restore existing instance' does not work 
for the 'Default Web Browser' and the 'HP Information page'    

All - Changing the system default mail client is lately 
taken into account (it is not the case for the default Web 
browser).

[Known limitations]

NT4 - Netscape - Finding information key works only 1 time 
out of 2 if the key is pressed too quickly.

Win2k - An upgrade from RC1 to RC2 disables the driver - 
re-install it to have it running, the configuration will be 
lost.

Win2k - The installation fails during an OPK installation.
Current workaround is to start the setup with the "RunOnce"
method.

All - Using the volume control keys when the screen saver
is running will cause the screen saver to be reset.

Win2k - The phone dialer is not always started if pressing
the key just after having closed the dialer.
