This article will show how to manually enter the footpedal configuration information into the INI file when the "Configure a USB Footpedal fails"

1. With InScribe closed, navigate to the InScribe INI file:

%appdata%\emdat\inscribe\emdat.ini

2. Edit the file, and add this text to the bottom:

[FootPedal]
Device=
Play/Pause=9
Rewind=10
FastForward=8

3. With the footpedal connected to the computer, open the registry of the computer with Regedit.

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}\

4. Find the key(s) that begin:

\##?#HID#VID_05F3&PID

5. Select the path within this key called:

#\SymbolicLink\

6. Copy the Value Data from this Registry Key. Here is an example (it will be different for each computer)

\\?\HID#VID_05F3&PID_00FF#6&c6fcf18&0&0000#{4d1e55b2-f16f-11cf-88cb-001111000030}

7. Add this information in the line in the INI file that begins

Device=

8. Open InScribe. Test the footpedal. If it does not work and there were other registry keys that began with \##?#HID#VID_05F3&PID then repeat this process for those keys until the resolution is obtained.

Note that InScribe needs to be closed and reopened after each INI edit.
