The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to install the Microsoft IntelliType software on a computer running Microsoft Windows 98, you receive the following error message:

This program may not run correctly on Windows 98 because of enhanced operating system features. For information about obtaining an updated version, or help regarding workarounds for known issues, click Details. If after reviewing the Help topic you still want to continue, click Run Program.
When you click Details, you receive the following message:

Important

IntelliType software version 1.0 and version 1.0a are compatible with Microsoft Windows 98. However, if you enable the "SnapTo" feature using the IntelliType Manager or the Keyboard Control Panel, you will not be able to use your Start menu correctly. If you do not use the "SnapTo" feature, disregard this message.

An updated version of the IntelliType software (11p32upd.exe) resolves this issue and is available for download at:

http://www.microsoft.com
Even though this error message says to download the 11p32upd.exe update, you cannot install the 11p32upd.exe update on a computer running Windows 98.


CAUSE

This behavior can occur because the IntelliType software is not fully compatible with Windows 98.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, install version 2.2 or later of the Microsoft IntelliPoint software. Many of the features in the InteliType software are also in the IntelliPoint software. To obtain the latest version of the IntelliPoint software, contact the Microsoft Order Desk at (800) 360-7561.


MORE INFORMATION

Windows 98 directly supports the Microsoft Natural Keyboard and the Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite, so the IntelliType software is not necessary.

NOTE: Some features in the IntelliType software, such as Keyboard Sounds, are not provided by Windows 98.
