Problem

Symptoms: The user has the Keytronics KB 5153 Professional keyboard which has a touch pad on the right side of the keyboard. It is similar to a digitizing pad. This keypad can be programmed in certain areas. It comes with templates on top. He programs it so the lower right corner converts from a macro pad to a mouse pad. Since WP didn't support mouse use with WP 5.0, he didn't use this then, but he is now using it. If he uses the touch pad in mouse mode/graphics alone, the cursor moves fine with the mouse, but when he Views Document, he only sees the graphics characters (lines, figures, etc.), not regular text. The user renamed the Keytronics Mouse Driver (KTPAD.COM) to MOUSE.COM. Without having it loaded (ver.3.2), it is OK. When he starts WP with the keypad for macros, and the mouse (loading the .COM file), if he tells WP that he is CGA and not EGA, all is OK. But if he uses EGA (which is what he has), he sees no text in View. WP auto-selects EGA 640x350. He has the Vega Video Deluxe EGA 7a graphics card. Solutions: Because the testers can duplicate the problem the user reported, they contacted Keytronics. They were aware of the problem. WPCorp's contact there stated that the problem is because the latest driver software for the Keytronics 5153 keyboard (ver. 3.2) was written prior to the technology introduced recently. He stated that there are plans to upgrade the driver, but could not give me a time frame. Keytronics will contact WPCorp when this new driver is available.
