ruthan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Hi, i have strange problem. I found out that i have some Vmware leftovers -vmkbd.sys , problem is when i remove it, i cant log into machine, but i had other issues. Setup Win XP SP3 with PS/2 mouse + keyboard and USB mouse + keyboard - all wired, 4 devices. Problem is when i remove Vmware driver - on logon screen only PS/2 mouse is working, until i press PS/2 keyboard key, after that it freeze. With Vmware driver installed, all PS/2 devices are working + USB keyboard is working, USB mouse is not working for some reason. Other issue is thas control panel - keyboard and mouse are not just starting, any other panels are ok, no input freezes within session etc, so its software problem. I tried other clean XP install, same USB drivers, no Vmware and all devices are working fine. When i moved machine to Vmware for test, i had only keyboard, no mouse until Vmware tools installed - i dont thing that is normal behavior. Any ideas, what could be wrong and how to solve it?

ruthan Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 How extractly? I see some parent key like: {4D36E96B-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Should i just remove whole parent key, or just UpperFilters with value item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
