          KEYBOARD LOCKS IN WINDOWS WITH EXPERT MOUSE SOFTWARE VERSION 4.01


PROBLEM:        In Windows, if the Caps Lock or Num Lock key is pressed after
                loading Expert Mouse software from Kensington Microware, Inc.,
                the keyboard locks up.

CAUSE:          The file EXVKD1.386 (installed during the Expert Mouse
                installation in SYSTEM.INI as KEYBOARD=*EXVKD1.386) causes
                keyboard lock ups.  By changing the entry to KEYBOARD=*VKD,
                the standard Windows virtual keyboard driver, the keyboard no
                longer locks up.

SYSTEMS
AFFECTED:       All AST systems.

SOLUTION:       Update to version 4.02 of the Kensington Microware Expert
                Mouse software to resolve this problem.  Call Kensington for a
                free upgrade at (800)-535-4242 or 415-572-2700.  Kensington
