Microsoft Optional Hardware (Optional) Update

August 30, 2008

Recently, I selected the update, "SIS-Display-SIS 741", from the subject

site and restarted my computer, running WindowsXP Home. At the end of the

reboot, a pop-up titled "keyhook.exe - Entry Point Not Found". The enclosed

text read: RealKeySting@CSISReg@SAHPAD0H0PAUHKEY__@@K@Z could not be

located in the dynamic link library SISBase.dll. Microsoft's Download

History indicated the update completed, I found "SIS-Display-SIS 741 in the

Device Manager and diabled it. The pop-up error message repeated for

several reboots. Finally, I enabled, SIS-Display-SIS 741. A search

indicated Keyhook.exe" was located at C:\WINDOWS\system32. It was not

readily available during a physical check, which is a little confusing. The

only other thing I can think of is to see if I can get, keyhook.exe, off the

internet and install it. However I'm not familiar with whether I can get it

or where to put it. I could use a lot of help on this, please.

Re: Microsoft Optional Hardware (Optional) Update

Additional research indicated, keyhook.exe should be located in the Registry

Editor (Regedit) and deleted. I was able to locate it; but, I'm not too

familiar with regedit to delete anything. Still need help on what to do.

Re: Microsoft Optional Hardware (Optional) Update

Sorry for not paying attention. The roll-back worked just fine and normalcy

has returned. Thank you ever so much.
