Every time I start up my computer a small window pops up
saying
"mdata.dat Not found", and then a second window pops up
"mkbdata.dat
No found. I click them and they go away. I have not seen
any
problems with my computer since these messages started poping
up.
How do I fix this?
Have you recently uninstalled software for a mouse and/or
keyboard? If so, it sounds as if it left behind startup entries
in your registry.
See if this fixes your problem.
Download this program from Microsoft.
AutoRuns for Windows v8.61
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx
Right click the zip file and select Extract all from the menu.
Run Autoruns.exe.
Click on the Logon tab.
Look for entries that mention those two files in the Image path
column.
Remove the check marks from the boxes next to those entries.
Restart your computer and see if the error messages still
appear.
If you prefer not to download this program then go to Start ->
Run and enter msconfig in the Open box. Click on the Startup
tab. Uncheck the entries that point to the two files. Click OK.
Restart you computer. When your computer restarts, put a check
mark in the box that pops up warning you that you're running in
Diagnostic Mode. Click OK.
Good luck
