| I did a recent repair install on my Satellite 3005-S307 in which it gave me
| an error message on finding some file called kbfiltr.sys.
|
| I  had a system which was crashing on execution of any second command (IE I
| could go into Notepad but as soon as I tried to type anything or I could go
| into Photoshop but as soon aas I treid to highlight any file it would
| crash).
|
| This was something to do with uninstall of a hotfix prior to putative
| installation of SP2.
|
| It has left a system which let me use the keyboard while it was doing the
| repair install to
| enter the key and the enter button (to carry on at various stages) but
| during install reboot crashed on
| entering the administrator password!! I suspect that they system was
| actually crashed at that stage as I dont think the cursor would move when I
| touched the touchpad
|
| Anyway on reboot it still gives an error message on a file called
| DRI_KBFiltr which it says it cannot find. And when I reboot it STILL crashed
| as soon as I try to use the keyboard. (all I was doing was to try to delete
| the half to a whole gig swap file on a fullish C drive and put it solely on
| the D drive, where there seems to have been one anyway). Norton Speedisk was
| running in the background and it still is, (only the mouse cursr is crashed
| as far as I can see)
|
| (I should point out that the WHOLE keyboard doesn't work and crashes the
| unit as soon as I try to use it as opposed to just the Dritek keys)
