Re: Would Like LOG file to Record Shutdown

The Win32 Exit Code is different. What does it tell u?

WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 2 (0x2)

If the service was started successfully, the WIN32_EXIT_CODE field should
contain a zero (0). If the service failed to start when an attempt was made,
this field should contain an exit code provided by the service when it
realized it couldn't start.

Net Helpmsg can be used to display the text for most Windows NT error
messages.

C:\>net helpmsg 2

The system cannot find the file specified.


C:\>

Sound familar?

How do I change to C: like yours.

Try this...

Right click the Desktop | New | Shortcut |
Paste this in the location box:

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe

Click Next | Click Finish |

Right click the new cmd.exe shortcut | Properties |
In the Start in box replace %windir% with C:\ |
Click Apply | Click OK

Double click the new shortcut and you should see.............

You can also change the Start in for the cmd shortcut located under
Accessories on the Start Menu.

Right click the cmd shortcut | Properties | Type: C:\ in the Start in
box

Edna,

sc query queries the status of a service.

Try this.

Open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | click OK |
Type or paste the following command:

sc query hidserv

Then hit your Enter key.

I get this.

Wes, I was just searching the Registry for HIDSERV or HIDSERVICE or
HIDAUDIO or various combinations - no entries other than in
IE\ExplorerBars\FilesNamedMRU.

I do have three HIDSERV files all V5.1.2600.2180 xpsp_sp2 21KB in
W\System32,
ServicePack Files i386 and
Dll Cache.

Why would it not appear in the same registry location as yours does? ...

Edna,

hidserv.dll is the file.

hidserv.dll is probably not in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder.

Start | Run | Type: system32 | Click OK to open the folder.

Do an Advanced Search for hidserv.dll on your machine.

See this on how...
HOW TO: Search For Hidden Or System Files In Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302347

The dllcache folder is Hidden and so anything in it will also be
Hidden.

hidserv.dll will probably be found in
%SystemRoot%\System32\dllcache folder
or
%Systemroot%\ServicePackFiles folder

You should have one folder or the other.

I do not have a ServicePackFiles folder, so I have no idea if it is
Hidden.

When you find hidserv.dll, copy it and paste it into your system32
folder.

If you cannot find hidserv.dll on your machine, you can expand a copy
from your XP CD, if that's the case post back and someone will post
instructions.

Amazing coincidence BEFORE reading your reply this PM I switched the
Speakers from the side of the Computer into the Back so I could use
the Volume control on the Keyboard. I guess that's into the MB as
I know I didn't buy a Sound Card but ...
Realtek High Definition Audio came with the MB.

Wes ... I no longer have Sound with the Speaker plugged into the
back. (Previously the Speaker plug was plugged in the side of the
computer and I had Sound)

It appears the "Missing file" message is correct but what file.

The Keyboard didn't come with a CD.
Realtek is showing in Control Panel so it's installed.
The Speakers worked in the side plugged into what? ... I have no idea.

Is it a USB file that's missing?? I hope u will chose to continue
if u feel u can get the instructions through to my head. Thx ...

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.

Human Interface Device Access
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

While I have your attn: Only One more I'm getting and have been
getting since the computer was put together is:

Event ID: 7023

The HID Input Service service terminated with the following error:

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.

I once put them all on Automatic, Shutdown, Restarted, and those
