I'm trying to install a new wireless keyboard/mouse (the Logitech brand) and
it's saying the file "kbdhid.sys" is missing - do I need to re-install SP2,
or is there a way to re-install any missing files that are needed for me to
complete the installation?? Please let me know, asap, I'd highly appreciate
it.

Thanks much!!!

Hi:

I've accessed the links you've kindly provided. However, when I went to
search for the file - this is what came up:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/BSBAF_Lover_Lyn/Questions/find.jpg

What should be done, next??

Note: About four weeks ago, I encountered a semi-vital mishap with my pc - I
(purely by accident) deleted many vital files (I was scanning for unwanted
clutter and poorly read the options, which resulted to an disaster that I
could yell at myself over and over again about. I would love to reverse it,
but I can't; I've tried 'System Restore', but as the mishap occured, my
dingbat of a moment was intense (to make a very long story short).

I hope that, after all's been said and done, I can just re-install SP2 (if
this is a possibility).
 
Then try to copy the file from the installation Cd of XP or the CD for the
Keyboard to the directory where it need it like:
C:\windows\System32
C:\windows\System32\Drivers

Run this command:
sfc /scannow click [OK] and let it run and be ready to insert the XP CD if
it asked you to do so.
HTH.

Wow, I've definitely been 'MIA' for much too long! Many apologies, just been
going through many hardships.

Is there a way 'Microsoft' can snail mail me the Windows XP (Professional
Edition) CD to my home location (Windows XP was pre-installed when I
purchased my pc 5 years ago)?? I really hope this is an option as I don't
know of any other way to fix the problem without the CD, thanks much!!
