i8042prt error

[Ellie]

I have a Dell P4 running WinXP. All of a sudden I'm
getting an Error Message, Event ID 7026 stating "The
following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to
load: i8042prt" This happens only when trying to print
and it causes the system to crash and reboot itself.
The research I've done indicates this relates to PS/2-
style keyboard and mouse devices. However everything I'm
running is USB. Can anyone tell me where to go next?

If everything still works you can disable this server by setting the start
value to Disabled in Services.
