Existing users, 
Quick note, the installation went well and the new Preference Panes look great. None of the other desktop users on my computer could get the function keys to work. In truth, we stopped trying the keys when it was observed the Log 0ff key and the Volume keys would not respond. First I tried copying preference files from the Administrator without avail. Finally after doing the usual voodoo I simply (but repetitiously) did a new install from the desktop of each user. Four reboots later all was well.

keyboard not responding for other users - Pseudo K
Installing a Login Item for other users is not generally a good idea, even if you are an administrator installing a driver. Many drivers use Login Items to perform user-level operations through a helper application, and most of them require each user to open their preference pane once to activate the helper. There is no need to reinstall for each user, opening the preference pane once in every user account is usually more than enough for all the drivers I've seen so far.Well, I didn't think to try manually setting up a Login Item. What I did do is try opening up the Pref Pane for the other users and make changes in key mappings and selected different keyboards and reset them. None of that helped. I also unplugged the USB connection and paired up the keyboard with the transmitter. None of those measures helped either. Frankly, I surprised that the re-install worked. I don't know what element of the install procedure helped however.
