Dear Phuoc Khai
I have downloaded Siddhamkey, the Sanskrit Dictionary and the Pali Dictionary and they have all worked perfectly in my desktop running Windows XP SP3. However, when have installed all the three programs in my netbook that I have just bought last Friday running Windows 7, they have all shown me a Run-time error ’7′: Out of Memory, wich I believe that is related to an error of a Visual Basic component. If you have any clue on what is causing the problem and how to solve (if there is a missing .dll, for example), I would be very grateful.
May the dhamma blessing be upon you,
Ramon Mathias Soares Pontes
You try installing the Microsoft Office package. It may solve the problem.

I have installed the Microsoft Ofice package and the problem is solved: all the programs are running properly. Thanks a lot!
How to type ḥ in siddham key?
There is no ḥ in Siddhamkey. However you can add it by opening sddhkey.mdb database file, then add ḥ to a new row to tbl_siddham table. In CBETA Siddham font, script for ḥ is 揵
I have installed the siddhamkey 3.0 in my laptop which operate window 7 home premium. But when I run the application, some of the script are invisible, example ‘trum’ has four scripts, F1, F2, F3, and F4. F1, F2 and F4 have the script for trum, but F3 is a invisible button. It is a button for invisible script.
Greetings,
I just recently bought my father a computer with windows 7 and installed Siddhamkey 3.0 and received a run time error 7. I played with the compatibility settings, uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Office and installed it on several other windows 7 systems and still no luck. Any advice would be great. My father uses your great software frequently.
Thank you,

can tpk give me ‘nbha’ in siddham?
Dear friends,
I have authored a proposal to encode Siddham in Unicode. The latest version of the proposal is available at:

I look forward to any feedback you may provide.
Kind regards,

There is no NBHA character in Siddham CBETA Font, therefore you should use Image Processing Program to create it.

“Run time error 7″ is a common error of Windows, so it’s hard to identify the problem. However, I’ve installed Hanosoft 3.0 on Windows 7 Ultimate Edition and it works normally. Regards.

There are still some mistakes in siddham database. You can correct them by working with siddham.mdb file in the Siddham Program Files folder.
