Add the following 2 class lines to the INI file (My-T-Pen Setup | Configuration | Special Options | Edit My-T-Pen Initialization File), in the [MenuClasses] section, add:
MyTClass0004=Tablet_Tip_Dockable_Window
MyTClass0005=IPTip_Main_Window
(or add the correct sequence numbers based on the existing list).

In 1.78 Release 2, you can also add the class lines to the [StayBehindClasses] section.

When making changes in this area, be sure My-T-Pen is closed, update the INI, close Setup, then restart the software.

Some systems have a video subsystem that causes painting delays when the 3D keys are used - this is most noticeable during the Caps lock repaint. Here are some options:

• Turn off the 3D display - Go into My-T-Pen Setup | Configuration, and clear the checkbox for "Display 3D Keys"
• -or-
• Make sure you have the most up-to-date driver for your video adapter
• Try a different resolution and/or color depth (I.e. 16-bit/24-bit/32-bit), etc. Certain combinations may work better because of hardware & driver issues.

Refer to available updates - see My-T-Pen Setup | Help | Check for Updates…, and look at options available for the My-T-Pen product. It is indicated as "My-T-Pen Logon Utilities for 64-bit Windows" (This is not tagged as a recommended update because this update only applies to 64-bit versions - you must manually select My-T-Pen, and the update, and answer Yes when notified that is the same as the current installation).

You can also download this update directly here: Download Update for My-T-Pen 1.78 Release 4 for 64-bit Windows 7/Vista (197 KB) (MD5: F99C781345BB868D81F601E9A81BFD69)
Installation/udpate instructions:
Make sure the My-T-Pen Logon Utilities are closed - no My-T-Pen program should be running
Then, as Administrator, copy mtp17864.exe to \Program Files (x86)\MYTPEN, then execute directly from that folder.
This will expand and update:
IMGLOGON.exe and IMGVistaLogon.dll
and will add:
IMGVERS64.DLL and LICENSE64.DLL

Technical notes: The Credential Provider DLL must be compiled as 64-bit to be loaded by the operating system. Also, the user front-end IMGLOGON.exe must be 64-bit to update the correct registry keys (vs. the 32-bit redirects in the Wow6432Node sub keys). To resolve interface issues, supporting DLLs must also be 64-bit.

Once the update/new files have been applied, you can run the My-T-Pen Logon Utilities directly, and it will operate correctly in the 64-bit environment.

With standard defaults, all user data (MYTPEN.INI/KEYBOARD.KBF/Macro files) are saved in the Application Data area for the current user (for each user). For tools to find / Export / Import, use the File menu in My-T-Pen Setup. You can refer to the general information in the help for My-T-Pen Setup for details. When exported, all user data is compressed to a single zip file that is saved on to the desktop. This file can be saved/moved to a new system/installed version and used to import the old settings to the new installation of My-T-Pen. It is also a good idea to use this as a way to backup settings once you have everything configured the way you like it, and for people that invest a lot of time building macros.

It does, but the location of the logos is related to the ConfigPath setting in the INI file. The default (as shipped) setting uses the current user's personal location for the configuration files, so that each user can have their own personal configuration, and to conform with recommended Windows Vista security practices. For a quick check of this location, go into My-T-Pen Setup, open the File Menu, and select "Show Config File Location". You can set ConfigPath=0, and the logo bitmaps can remain in the installation folder, but then users must have read/write access to the installation folder (or the ReadOnlyOK setting should be set to 1). For details on ConfigPath, see the INI documentation in Help (on-line link here).

All Keyboard settings, including screen position, and contained in the .KBF file itself. The preferred approach is to use the Build-A-Board builder to modify layout, settings, etc., and rebuild the KBF. However, there is a workaround available, if the only change required is the opening screen position

1. Obtain the Config File Location - My-T-Pent Setup | File menu | Show Config File Location (e.g. \Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\Innovation Management Group\MYTPEN)
2. Copy the KEYBOARD.KBF in that location to \Program Files\MYTPEN\LOGON (overwrite existing KEYBOARD.KBF)
3. Run KBFLOGON.EXE - the top will indicate the location it is modifying - it uses the registry, and will essentially only operate on the LOGON folder, e.g. "\Program Files\MYTPEN\LOGON" - change the X/Y as desired, OK/Exit KBFLOGON
4. Now return the KEYBOARD.KBF to the original location

This is a workaround for this particular situation, in that you don't have the Build-A-Board tool to modify the layout, the opening position, the menu options, etc. We are reviewing the various options and offerings we have to meet the various needs of our customers - because of the nature of on-screen keyboards, this runs to individuals, companies, OEM bundles, and large-scale worldwide layouts. It is important to realize the inclusion of licensed operation for Build-A-Board layouts was done for customers that already had a large installed base, and also required custom layouts.

Refer to the manual information here:

Syntax Notes: There can be no spaces in the entry or INI/KBF file names

Additional items to be aware of:

• These overrides look at the config file location - see My-T-Pen Setup | File | Show Config File Location to identify the current user specific configuration file location. Your custom files need to be in this location
• The /i=mynew.ini INI override command line option has a quirk - because of internal backup code, the custom named INI should ALSO be in the program files location, i.e. \Program Files\MYTPEN - for ease of use, you can duplicate both files in both locations - QWERTY.INI and QWERTY.KBF in \Program Files\MYTPEN AND the config file location (e.g. \users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Innovation Management Group\MYTPEN)
• Often, if there are no specific INI settings that affect operation, and you primarily just want a different layout, you are OK to just specify the KBF, e.g. /k=qwerty.kbf (the KBF must be in the Config File Location). This bypasses the item 2 above, and in most cases, works just fine.

Note if multiple layouts are required, we recommend looking at the CopyConfigureMTS / CPYCNMTS.exe utility/interface in the IMG Developer's Kit, as it lets you change layouts on the fly, and keep the software running. Closing and opening the software is generally not a good approach, because of initialization & painting delays, possible focus issues, and unintended conflicts. Of course, each particular situation is different, so it may be sufficient for your needs.
