How to open calculator so it opens on top

martygene,

Welcome to 7 Forums! :)

I dont see where your having problems with the keyboard. Do you want to launch the program right from your keyboard?

Download this software (http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...7.10.344.0.exe) and install it.
Then open the microsoft keyboard program (should be on your desktop after installation) and you should be able to find a tab to set programs or anything else from your top convience keys. When you do, it will be on top of the other programs you may have on screen.

Hope this helps!

Let us know,
Ben

I was interested in this idea so downloaded and installed the software but it appears to be software for configuring a mouse. I couldn't find any reference to a keyboard. Have I missed it somewhere?

Have a look at this post I want calculator to steal focus!

Naw I got me fingers ain't I?

You're welcome. :)

I did try at the time to see if I could get it to work without the brief flash of the command window, but was unable to prevent the flashing.

I have just had another look at this, and have reassigned the calculator key to its default. It now works correctly whereas before it didn't, although assigning the calculator to one of the Favorites buttons did. It would appear that this was a bug in the keyboard driver which has subsequently been fixed.

Try this driver: Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Hardware - Download Software
