Default Windows 7 Calculator

Loving W7 so far. However when I presses the calculator button on my MS keyboard the calculator loads up but not as the active program. The only way to see the calculator as the active program is to minimise everything and be looking at my desktop. Is there a way to force the calculator to appear on top of my other windows if I'm not on the desktop?

Hmm. Me wonders if the MS Intellitype WU installed last night has forked this up?

Bingo-bango-mango-wango! Removing Intellitype fixes it. Ironic eh.

I never did install IntelliType as everything on the KB worked fine anyway, shall bear in mind to continue that habit!

Yeah I can safely say it doesn't do much. OK there might be a setting to revert the Calculator to the previous setting but if uninstalling IntelliType fixes the problem like that, what's the point of even having it?

Never even noticed my keyboard has a calculator button until you mentioned it. I always used the start menu.

I'm impressed that someone somewhere along the lines has made sure it pops up a calculator in Ubuntu
