Human Interface Device Access is the Display Name for HidServ (Service
Name).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Services\HidServ\Parameters
sez: ServiceDll = %SystemRoot%\System32\hidserv.dll
hidserv.dll = depending on the version; HID Service or HID Audio
Service.
Mine sez HID Audio Service.
This is interesting...
SYMPTOMS
When you try to shut down a Windows XP-based computer that has Human
Interface Devices (HID) peripherals connected, the time that it takes to
shut down the computer may be longer than when the HID peripherals are
not connected.
Note HID peripherals are Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices such as
keyboards, game controllers, and scanners that comply with the Device
Class
Definition for HID 1.11 standard.
from...
Shutting Down Computer Takes Extra Time When HID Devices Are Connected
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826367
Human Interface Device Access
Disabled, if not using keyboards/mouse/joysticks extended with extra
buttons
that need mapping.
Manual, if having many buttons to push.
Human Interface Device Access
You may not have any peripherals that require this service. If one of
yours
magically does not function anymore, set it to automatic. Namely,
scanners with function buttons (fax, copy) or even an "Internet"
keyboard with volume
or play controls.
Human Interface Device Access
Enables generic input access to Human Interface Devices (HID), which
activates and maintains the use of predefined hot buttons on keyboards,
remote controls, and other multimedia devices. If this service is
stopped, hot buttons controlled by this service will no longer function.
If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it
will fail to
start.
*Some peripherals require this service. Internet keyboards with volume
and play control buttons, scanners with fax or copy buttons. I don't
have any of
these kinds of peripherals so mine is disabled.

Comment: Whether or not you should disable this service, depends on
other
services you need. If you don't know, turn it off and see if it breaks
anything. It says that it deals with hotkeys, however all the system
hotkeys
that most of us enjoy aren't controlled by this service, they are built
into
the core OS. Control C, for example, to copy and Control V to past, do
not stop working when you turn this service off. It seems this has more
to do with specific hotkeys that a software vendor may want to insert
into their installed program or internet product. Until you see a reason
for it, I'd turn this one off.

Wes I just shut down and one only IMAPI Warning appeared.
Question: IMAPI Properties, Logon Tab, under Hardware Profile I've got
Profile 1 Enabled. Shouldn't that that too be Disabled?
While I have your attn: Only One more I'm getting and have been
getting
since the computer was put together is:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7023

Description:
The HID Input Service service terminated with the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
I have HID Input Service on Automatic but I see it's not Started.
General Tab, Service Status shows Stopped. Profile 1 is Enabled.
I did have a Logitech Wireless Mouse installed by I'm back to my old MS
Mouse. I've got a Linksys Wireless Router and DSL. I haven't got my
Laptop on the router yet.
Creative Speakers and I don't use any hot buttons.
That description makes ME think there's a file missing. How would u
ever find out which file? Any ideas. Thx ...
:
Edna,
You also have to use your own judgment. Sometimes you have to mess
around and see why something doesn't work because you disabled a
particular service.
A few examples. If you disable LanmanWorkstation (Workstation
service), Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc) in MMC doesn't work
right. Or if Terminal Services is disabled you do not see any names
in the User Name column in Task Manager. Or if you disable the
Indexing Service, your machine runs better. Or if you disable the
DHCP Client service you cannot get online.

Hi Wes! I've just disabled IMAPI. I didn't know that and never
would
have thought to Disable it. I've had it on every other setting
except
Disable. Do u know of a GOOD/INTELLIGENT/KNOWLEDGABLE Site one can
refer
to as to suggestions for these Settings. I read the explanations
for
these Services and many go right over my head. Between my girlfriend
and I we discuss and decide.
I once put them all on Automatic, Shutdown, Restarted, and those that
didn't show Start, I put on Manual. Whatta Hi Tech Analyzer eh?
Messenger and Secondary Logon and now IMAPI are my only Disables.
Thx I'll let u know in a cple days. ...
:
Disable the IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service. It is only needed when
using
XP's inbuilt CD burning application. If you use any 3rd party CD
burning software, IMAPI.EXE does not need to run, ever. It can
cause
conflicts. I have Nero and have IMAPI disabled.
I know nothing about Acronis.

Hi Gerry! I have Nero 6.6.0.18 installed that came with my Asus
P5WD2
Premium MB installed Dec05. I've never used it. I was using Roxio
but after reading comments on Roxio causing hangs, which I was
experiencing, I removed it thoroughly, every reg entry. I was
planning, within hours, to buy the new Nero.
Something possibly relevant I noticed the other night: I bought
Acronis V10 the True Image program, I have to wait 40 mins for it
to
get through a hang before it starts. I've completed a Report for
the Acronis Techs but haven't heard of their finds yet.
I'm suspicious, the IMAPI Warnings and Acronis Hangs are related.
Maybe not but I recently noticed I got an IMAPI Warning at the very
same time I started Acronis. More work required as I couldn't
immediately repeat it.
Now, to answer your question: Yes! LOL ...

Edna
Are you using Nero software?

Wes I'm so sorry time didn't permit me to respond as I should
have
and wanted
very much to do. I came here so often to continue and something
else would
prevent me from concentrating on this.
I did switch my AV from NAV to Zone Alarm Security Suite and
find
now that
the only Warning I'm getting with any regularity is the IMAPI
Warning but it's prolific. I'm talking 15 - 20 entries at once.
Once I counted 60.

Presently I have it on Automatic but whether it's on Automatic or
Manual doesn't make any difference. Obviously I don't need it as
it doesn't start itself.
But if it isn't being used why do the Warnings appear?
I've Started IMAPI on occasion but that doesn't make any
difference.
I think I'll put it back on Manual and leave it in the Stopped
mode.
Sometimes I get multiple entries in a row. Sometimes one. I've
tried but can't pin down what I'm doing that causes it to go into
a multiple spin.
Oh BTW since abandoning Norton, my shut downs are now lickety
split.
Maybe
it was Norton, maybe not, but it's so nice not to have to wait
when shutting
down.
I've used Norton for years but recently I got hit with some Pest
thingie. I
was dissappointed NAV didn't protect me so I switched.
Again, Wes, Thank You for the time u spent helping me and pls
accept
my apology. My failure to reply wasn't by choice. ...
