Thank you for the hint on ActiveWords. That is exactly what is causing the conflict.I sure hope that they find a solution.

We've heard it's a conflict with ActiveWords and both companies are working to fix it.

Has anyone had a problem with this software? I installed it on my Samsung Q1 and most of the keys do not type anything and the number keys type letters. For example, when I press the "1" it types the letter "n". This is very wierd. I am going to try and reinstall it and see if that fixes it.

The program is a must if you are using a umpc. One of the major criticisms of the umpc is the lack of a keyboard. Well… with the right settings (aking the keyboard fill the entire screen)and the ability to use the “ghost” function to access what is behind it the entire SCREEN of the umpc becomes the keyboard that can be used with your fingertips. It takes a little while to get used to it but after the initial learning curve it is just amazing how quickly you can type on it.
I made a new keyboard profile based on my favorite “third party keyboard arrangement” and inscribe now replaced that and the tip.
One other note– now the fact that the TIP doesn’t automatically appear unless you use additional software is a plus. otherwie the TIP keeps appearing as you type away.

Bill, after you take your nap, try the Backspace key; it won't delete the previous word. ;)

Bill, don't think, do. Take a nap, that is. :)

I am entering this text using Ilium Software’s Inscribe program for text entry. It takes some getting used to because you enter text by drawing the words on the keyboard. I get lost sometimes and have to enter a word over and over. The delete key is actually a delete word key, so I sometimes erase perfectly good words by mistake. Maybe I will get faster with practice and not make so many mistakes. I am tired now. I think I need a nap.

They took a good program and not only made it better but made it FREE! We love free on jkOTR. :)

We should also point out that InScribe is a winner of the Handango/ Microsoft UMPC contest for best program in class. Congratulations to Ilium!
