Default sofware for xda keyboard

I bought the expandable/foldable xda keyboard from o2 for my xda, but my phone crashed and I lost the cd a few months ago. I don't have any documents that would tell me about the makers website so I have no idea about what to do. Does anyone know where you can download the installation software

Default Here you are

Dear you is what you need to install to make it work. Note that you should DISABLE the "recieve all incoming beam" option in the setting to aviod possible port conflict when using the foldable keyboard.

Default How do you install this CAB file?

Ken,

I finally got a G7B0 folding keyboard for my SX56 (XDA). I lacked the CD, so I downloaded the driver from the Darfon site that was labeled G7B0. I installed it and it turned up on the list of Programs on the phone, but nothing happens when I put it on the keyboard. And when I click on the lower right corner, I get the usual list of choices (letter recognizer, on-screen keyboard, etc) but no mention of the folding keyboard. It does appear in "Remove Programs" as being in memory, though.

I downloaded the CAB file you attached (thank you) and clicked on it; au unzip program appeared and extracted seven files, ending in .001, .002, etc.

Now what? I can transfer these into the phone, but in which directory? And how do I get the phone to recognize and use these?

Dan

Dear Boston,
The file I attached here is already in .CAB format, You need not extract the file, just copy it to whatever location you prefer on your device (XDA) and then double click on it for self-installation.
Once the installation is complete, the keyboard icon should appear in the program menu and not in the "input method panel" in the lower right corner.
Once it's complete, activate the program, and in the window of setting, select "Keyboard" (not Infrared and serial). And as I mentioned, to aviod possible port conflicts, UNselect the "recieve all incoming beam" in the setting window.

Smile Thanks

Jusy a note to say thank you to those who post replies to those of us who need to be spoon-fed when we hit problems, and to the site for archiving these replies.
Special thanks to Ken, I have just successfully installed the driver for a keyboard given to me by a friend.

Regards,
Dave
