MSINPUT.INI Settings Not Read at Startup at MS-DOS Level (120469)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Natural Keyboard with IntelliType software
This article was previously published under Q120469 SYMPTOMS
The settings for the Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate options in the
IntelliType Manager are not correctly initialized after the first startup
at the MS-DOS level.
CAUSE
The Microsoft Natural Keyboard driver version 1.0 sets the options for
Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate only after the second initialization of the
settings within the MSINPUT.INI file. (All other settings take effect after
the first initialization of the MSINPUT.INI file.)
RESOLUTION
Entering the command KBDCPL /S at an MS-DOS command prompt initializes the
MSINPUT.INI file a second time. This command can also be added to the
existing Microsoft Natural Keyboard entries found in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
The new line should be identical to the existing KBDCPL.EXE /S already
found in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Natural
Keyboard with IntelliType software version 1.00. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
The settings for the Repeat Delay and Repeat Rate options are set upon
entering Windows. The MSINPUT.INI file is first initialized at the MS-DOS
level through the AUTOEXEC.BAT file; it is initialized a second time during
the initialization of the Microsoft Natural Keyboard settings when you
start Windows.
