I don't know what's going on with the CW keyboard, but as far as your
second question is concerned: you can leave 8.03 in the folder you're
using. The reason 8.0 recommends C:\dx4w803 is to avoid the folder
protections implemented by Vista and Windows 7.

If dx4win is starting up, then you don't need the additional install.
It won't start at all unless you've got the right software already
installed on your PC.
