Hello all,

Firstly, I might say that I have ALS, and rely upon macros much of the time for my typing.  Without it causes me much time.

I have an old program called Keyboard Express, from 2000.  It worked fine on my 98 and XP pcs, but I'm having problems on Vista.  It will function fine on Notepad or Wordpad, but not at all on any IE web pages. 

Any suggestions?

Thx!

Did you check the Keyboard Express website? They have several articles on changes made to support Vista.

The following is a direct link to the main article:

Thx, WAW8.  What I ended up doing was installing Firefox, which the macro program works fine on.  Don't know why it won't work on IE7 on vista, as it did on IE7 on XP.

The default versions of IE7 are different between XP and Vista, plus on Vista, there are IE plugins. When folks have problems with IE on Vista, its often due to the plugins.
