WDGC Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Four days ago I began using a Logitech cordless keyboard and cordless laser mouse, packaged as 'Cordless Desktop LX310 Laser'. Since then each time I boot the system (XP Pro SP2) I find this error message in Event Viewer: Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7023 Date: 22/12/2007 Time: 1:25:00 PM User: N/A Computer: WDGC Description: The HID Input Service service terminated with the following error: The system cannot find the file specified. What is the cause and meaning of this error and how can I rectify it?

Luis.A Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 update your drivers and see if that corrects it. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/608587-event-viewer-hid-input-service-error/#findComment-589080926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted December 22, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hello WDGC, You will need your Windows XP CD handy to rectify this problem. Navigate to "D:\I386\Driver.cab" on the CD and extract the following files to your "%systemroot%\system32" folder. hidserv.dll mouclass.sys mouhid.sys Best of luck.

WDGC Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Anaron, hidserv.dll is already present: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\hidserv.dll mouhid.sys is in Driver.cab on the CD, mouclass.sys and hidserv.dll aren't. What do you make of this? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/608587-event-viewer-hid-input-service-error/#findComment-589080958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted December 22, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hello again WDGC, All 3 files should be in the Driver.cab file. I just checked two XP CDs to verify it. Can you give me your e-mail address in a PM? I can send you what you need in a RAR file.

WDGC Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 The files were already present, but I did as you suggested and replaced them with the ones you sent. Unfortunately, this is not the remedy - I still get the error message. Your help is appreciated.
