Hi, I just made the changes that I wanted to make using SharpKeys version 3 with 64 bit Windows 7. So, just running the SharpKeys executable with no problems. So, it is just the installer that doesn't work. I actually ran SharpKeys from a thumb drive and all worked perfectly.
Thanks for this most useful information. Robert Carter On May 19, 2010, at 10:08 AM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: > Yes, I'm running windows 7 32 bit. I didn't install it no.
