missing KEYBOARD.DRV?

[Cory]

Hello, I am being prevented from installing software
programs, such as, Quicken. The following error
continues to pop-up. In the title bar: NTVDM KERNEL:
Missing 16-bit system module; and with the message:
Please re-install the following module to your system32
directory: KEYBOARD.DRV Whether or not this is
related, I did uninstall (but later re-installed to no
avail), MS IntelliType, when I got a Memorex keyboard and
installed its driver. I'm running XP Home. At this
point, MS IntelliType is installed and the Memorex driver
has been uninstalled, but I still get the same error.
Does anyone have any ideas for a fix to this. Thank you.

.. Cabinet files on the Windows XP compact disc (CD) contains the actual
Windows files.

You can extract individual files from the cabinet files to replace missing
or corrupted files. To extract information from a .cab file in Windows XP:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type msconfig, and then click OK.

3. Click Expand File.

4. In the File to restore box, type the name of the file that you want
to restore.

5. In the Restore from box, type the path to the Windows XP .cab file
from which you want to restore the file, or click Browse From to locate the
Windows XP .cab file.

NOTE: The Windows XP .cab files are stored in the I386 folder on the Windows
XP compact disc (CD).

6. In the Save file in box, type the path to which you want the new
file extracted, or click Browse To locate the folder that you want.

7. Click Expand.

8. In the System Configuration Utility dialog box, click OK. If you
are prompted to restart the computer, click Restart.


Example: expand d:\i386\acces.cp_ c:\Windows\system32\access.cpl

I note that a search of my system located the keyboard.drv in both the
System folder and the System 32 folder.
