IntelliType Manager Settings Not Retained (128643)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft IntelliType software 1.0
This article was previously published under Q128643 SYMPTOMS
Changes that you make in IntelliType Manager may not be saved. Instead,
the default settings are restored when you quit Windows.
CAUSE
This problem can be caused by an incorrect MSINPUT environment variable.
RESOLUTION
Make sure the SET MSINPUT= statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is set to a
valid directory. If the statement points to a directory that does not
exist, or does not contain the full path to the directory, the statement
is invalid. For example, the incorrect statement
SET MSINPUT=C:MSINPUT
should be changed to:
SET MSINPUT=C:\MSINPUT
MORE INFORMATION
When the keyboard driver loads, it examines the MSINPUT environment
variable to find the MSINPUT.INI file. If the MSINPUT variable does not
exist, the directory from which the keyboard driver (KBD.DRV) is loaded is
scanned for the MSINPUT.INI file. If the file does not exist in this
directory, a new MSINPUT.INI file is created in the directory for future
use.
If the MSINPUT variable is set to a valid directory that does not contain
an MSINPUT.INI file, the file is created in that directory and used for
updates. If the MSINPUT variable is set to an invalid directory, defaults
for IntelliType Manager are used and updates are not saved.
