in order to enable SPB smart scroll on my tilt WM6 (and disable touchflo) i have been following instructions to change a few registry settings. while most are easy i cannot figure out one of the steps:
2) Change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\Driver Name to "PocketPlusTouch.dll"

i dont seem to have any "driver name" under the "touch" folder...
where do i find this?
btw- looking around i did notice a "driver name" under the "KEYBD" folder but i am guessing that isnt it.
under "touch" i have (Default), "Calibration Data" and "MaxCalError".

as to the "pocketPlusTouch.dll" file itself everything is allright i have the file and understand the steps, i just need help finding the aforementioned "driver name"
thank you.


the step is taken from here:

Try creating a new entry inside that key (not Dword, not binary. Text chain would be, wouldnīt it?). Must look somehow like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"drivername"="pocketplus touch.dll"

(You need a registry editor. Resco is the best. But even the one included in pocket commander will do)

first off thanks for the speedy reply.
i understand from what you wrote that i need to create a new value in the touch folder (as oppose to a new key)?
when i try to create a new value it asks for the "type"...
i have no "text chain" in the drop down menu, only dword, reg_sz,reg_binary, and others.... what type do i put?

I sometimes forget how to say smthng in English. Gezz

Create a new "String" entry, not a new key. I would like to help more, but I donīt have neither spb scroll nor a tilt :p

Good luck

i have the option to "add new value" (i am guessing this is the string you talked about. there are 3 entries : value name, value type and data.... what is the type?
reg_sz? reg_dword? reg_binary? reg_multi_sz? which one? there are another 10 or so.....

Sorry. went out 4 a while

reg_sz

value name is "drivername"
value type is reg_sz
value data is "pocketplus touch.dll"
