I have a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 3000 v2.0

I'm running:

'c:\Program Files\Microsoft Intellitype Pro\itype.exe'

at startup so I can take advantage of the volume controls on the keyboard to

adjust

the speaker volume on my monitor.

I have a Mitsubishi 17" flat screen monitor which I've had for some time.



Yesterday the volume controls worked fine but sometime between late

yesterday

and today they stopped working.



I'm getting the following error in my admin tools event log:

'The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:

i8042prt.'

The driver does exist in ...windows\system32



All other keys work fine on the keyboard... mail, start menu etc.

The volume controls on the monitor work ok.

I haven't installed any new software recently.

I ran a system file check but when it got done it simply closed and there

were no messages.
 
If anyone is interested I found an article on the internet that suggested

plugging into different USB port and it worked.

The volume buttons on the keyboard work fine now.

It forced windows to reinstall the human interface drivers or whatever it

does when you plug into a different USB port.

Don't know why it failed to begin with, though.

Although the driver still fails to load at startup.

Go back to a restore point when it was working. Something in your system

changed to cause the problem.

System Restore is reliable. It is the fact that some anti-virus will

take over the cause it to not work. Norton "products" have been

widely known to block the System Restore feature. Norton adds a

module to the software which protects the software from tampering.

This blocks the System Restore. Norton has a FAQ article on this.
