HotKey Problem??

[Daniel]

Hi, I hope someone else has had this problem and figured out how to solve
it. Just recently on my Windows XP machine (2.4 Gig eMachine model W4065) I
have had a window keep popup after Windows has loaded. The message on top of
the window says HOTKEY KEYBOARD and right below that it says - INVALID
POINTER OPERATION - with a OK box to close the window. It has been happening
for the last few days and it has me puzzled.

Any help would be appreciated. Have run Norton SystemWorks diagnosis with
no luck.

Thanks,
Dan

Go to Start | Run and type in msconfig. When it comes up click on the
Startup Tab. Check the list there for any entry pertaining to the keyboard.
Lot's of times it's "KBD.EXE". Uncheck it if it's there, then choose
restart. When your computer reboots, there'll be a window come up that says
"you have used the system configuration utility" Put a check in the box
that says "don't show this message again" and OK it. See if that cures your
problem.
