Q I recently downloaded and installed Calculator Plus and
would like to be able to access it with the calculator button on my Microsoft
keyboard.

A Make sure you have the latest version of Microsoft IntelliType Pro installed on your computer.
If not, you can download it here. Click on the Start button and then All Programs, Microsoft Keyboard and then Microsoft Keyboard again. Select the Key Settings tab, find the Calculator entry and click on the Edit button.
Select the option ‘Start a program, Web page or file’, and click on Next. Click on Browse and find the Power Calculator program.
If you accepted the default settings when installing the Power Calculator, click on the following icons in succession to find it: My Computer, C:, Windows, System32 and then PowerCalc.exe. Click on Open and then on Finish.
