But Windows 7 complained that this is not a 64-bit driver....
It seems that it is generally impossible to install 32bit drivers into 64bit Windows (there seems to be not even a compatibility mode for drivers, only for programs).
The real problem is that the Multitouch Utilities was written with a specific version of Java in mind. At this point, that version of Java is no longer supported by Windows 7 (and OS X 10.6 and later). Specifically, the problem is the Java USB driver from what I remember when this problem initially came up a few years ago. Your best bet is to get XP or 2000 working in VirtualBox.

IIRC, a four corner touch will give you some options, including the ability to change the layout. I think you want to be in a program like notepad and touch all four corners a once (the left two corners of the right pad and the right two corners of the right pad). This should cause the keyboard to type a prompt. If it does, I'm not sure the prompt tells you what your options are, but I think v switches to dvorak (may be a sub-option, not sure). Beyond that, I really don't remember exactly how it works, so hopefully it's hitting v, and then the keyboard reboots. If that's not it, maybe q will quit (remember it would then be the dvorak q and not the qwerty q). Beyond that, because the menu does other things, I recommend unplugging as opposed to hitting other random keys.TorbenGB wrote:I seem to remember that there's some kind of gesture built-in for this (but perhaps it's a gesture to swap between Mac&Windows style, or something else). Do you have the reference material? Try searching the downloads, too (look in our download section!). I'm sorry I can't give you precise information but I have limited resources right now.Max wrote:I want to change the layout of the DVORAK keyboard I purchased back to DVORAK from QWERTY

It worked for me, but that was 10 years ago. I haven't had a TSLP in a long time, and I don't remember the procedure or experience that well anymore.Max wrote:Thanks for all the help. I have tried the four corner touch and setting the keboard to DVORAK. It claims it has changed the layout, but the keyboard mapping does not change (it remains mapped go QWERTY). Does this work for anyone else?
I'm not sure how technical you are, and I can't walk you through the steps I used to get the software running on Win7 without the old version of Java (IIRC, it didn't work for communicating with the keyboard, but it functioned in Java and allowed me to edit/view layouts). I know you're running XP in a VM, so totally different, but getting java applications to run doesn't change much from OS to OS. You might search the forums if you haven't already in case I posted my experience. Alternatively, if I didn't post or you think you can figure it out, you could try to extract from the installer with a program like 7-zip. I'm not sure the installer can be extracted from so easily, but it wouldn't surprise me, and that might allow you to do what you want to do.Max wrote:Also, I am unable to install the V1.6 utilities, even if I have a working version of Java installed (as part of the successful install of the V1.5.3 utilities). The installer quits (so I can't copy across the Java runtime to the V1.6 files). I therefore need to find a standalone version of Java that will satisfy the V1.6 installer. Very annoying.

Hmm, I vaguely remember running WinXP in some virtualization tool (wasn't Sun VirtualBox) on Win7 and I noticed this effect too -- the FW device presents itself as a different device when in DFU mode and I seem to remember (incorrectly?!?) that I was able to map both devices to the virtual machine so XP could reprogram it. But it's years ago.Max wrote:device it disappears from the VM (goes into DFU mode). The VM software can see this USB device but it cannot map it to the VM OS, it says it's busy.
Hey congrats! (Come join us new parents over here.) Your ambition level is very wise! That took me too long to realize for myself.Max wrote:I have a 3 month old daughter and I no longer have any ambition for achieving anything once I get home!
