SYMPTOMS

If your try to install the Microsoft IntelliType Pro software is not successful, temporary files may not be removed from the hard disk drive.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if the installation is not successful because you do not have enough available hard disk space to install the IntelliType Pro software.

RESOLUTION

To prevent this issue from occurring, a minimum of 10 megabytes (MB) to 35 MB of hard disk space must be available before you install the IntelliType Pro software. How much space you need depends on the version of software that you use (for example, 2.0 and 2.1 requires 35 MB for installation).

Note You must have additional available hard disk space to install Microsoft Internet Explorer or Microsoft Windows Media Player from the IntelliType Pro CD-ROM.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro version 1.0.

MORE INFORMATION

In addition to the 10 MB of disk space that is required by the IntelliType Pro software, Microsoft recommends you maintain at least 50 MB of available space on the hard disk on which Microsoft Windows is installed.

This disk space is needed by the Microsoft Windows swap file but may also be used by other programs.
