First off, I'm using XP Home SP3, fully patched and up to date.

 

This is strange. I keep getting a system event that tells me the following:

 

_______________________________________________________________

Event ID: 7023

Description: The Human Interface Device Access service terminated with

the following error:

The system cannot find the file specified.

_______________________________________________________________

 

If I try to manually start the service by going into the Services

administrative tool, I get the following error message:

_______________________________________________________________

Services

---------------------------

Could not start the Human Interface Device Access service on Local Computer.

 

Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

[OK]

_______________________________________________________________

 

So far, I've tried the following:

 

"Go to Hkey local

machine/system/currentcontrolset/services/hidserv/parameters and make

sure there's an Expanded String Value %SystemRoot%\System32\hidserv.dll.

named ServiceDll (case sensitive). Also check in the hidserv key to make

sure there is a Reg_Dword entry with the name Type with a hex value of 20."

 

and:

 

"Make sure there are copies of the following files in the locations

indicated:

 

hidserv.dll in C:\Windows\System32

mouhid.sys in C:\Windows\System32

mouclass.sys in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and just for good measure,

C:\Windows\System32

mouclass.sys in C:\Windows\System"

 

The registry entries are all present and the files are all in place, yet

the service won't start! Can anybody tell me why this might be happening?

 

TIA

Just a guest but maybe some files need to be re-registered(regsvr32.exe "file

name"). Greg T

Re: Unable to get HID service to run.

 

Hi John,

 

See if the %systemroot% variable works. Click Start, Run and type:

 

%systemroot%

 

Press {ENTER}

 

Does it launch the Windows directory?

Re: Unable to get HID service to run.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that one can only register .dll

files? Anyway, your guess might be a good one although I'd still have to

figger out which files to register.

I want to add that when I right click on "Human Interface Device Access"

in the Services module, then select "Properties" and then the

"Dependencies" tab, I only see "Remote Procedure Call" listed. Obviously

the RPC service isn't turned off, because it's both automatic and always

started -those settings can't be changed. I'd like to know why RPC must

always be on (seems like a serious security vulnerability), but that's

for another post. Right now though, I'd like to be able to get the HID

service to work.

 

I should mention that I use a Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard 1.0, an

i-rocks IR-8100 multi-format card reader and have a Zonet ZUC2400 USB

2.0 &FireWire PCI Combo Card plugged into the MoBo. All of them have

drivers installed. The keyboard works as it should and so does my mouse

(a Microsoft Intellimouse 1.3A).

 

However, as expected because the HID service won't work, none of the

buttons on the front of my Canon CanoScan 8400F scanner (copy, scan, PDF

and e-mail) function. This is despite the fact that updated drivers for

the scanner are installed.

Re: Unable to get HID service to run.

 

The Image Path is incorrectly set. Check this:

 

- - -

BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

- - -

 

It should be "C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"

 

You can alter the ImagePath value in this key:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidServ

Re: Unable to get HID service to run.

 

Thanks very much for replying, Ramesh.

 

I opened regedit, went to that key and value and here's what it was

(copied and pasted from the registry):

 

%SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

 

Since "%SystemRoot%" on my computer is supposed to mean the same as

"C:\WINDOWS", I have to wonder why the path reported in the config

report was minus the backslash.

 

(A little later) Whoops, that was a typo of mine. Sorry. I tried real

hard to type exactly what the report said, but still missed that

backslash. I don't know how to copy and paste command line ("DOS"

window) reports.

 

Regardless, I tried copying and pasting your recommended path with and

without quotation marks included into that registry value, and then

tried to start the HID service. The results were, in both cases, the

same error message and log entry that I provided in the OP. I also tried

rebooting the computer and that didn't make any difference.

 

I just looked in the c:\windows\system32 folder and noticed that there

are several copies of system files, the copies all being older versions

with different MD5 hash values than the newer versions. The older

versions all have "(3)(2)" added to the end of their names before the

file extensions. One of the files that has been replaced this way is

svchost.exe. Pretty sure the "(3)(2)" refers to the update from SP2 to

SP3. Not sure if this is related to my problem though.

 

It would help if the error message I get when I attempt to start up the

HID service would list the file that it can't find ("Error 2: The system

cannot find the file specified"). Similarly, the Event Viewer's System

log event properties for not being able to open the HID service don't

indicate the file it can't find either.

 

I have to presume that it's C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe. However,

that file is present at the assignd path.

 

This is vexing indeed.

 

I just looked at the properties for the service and clicked on the

"Dependencies" tab. Under "The following system components depend on

this service", it says <No Dependencies>. Yet the buttons on the front

of my scanner won't work.

 

Frankly, I believe this whole problem is SP3 related. Since installing

SP3, I notice that Nero will no longer burn DVDs at the 18x speed my

burner is capable of. It's now limited to a max of 12x.

 

Because of these and other strange problems I've been experiencing, I'm

right on the verge of doing an FDISK, FORMAT and fresh reinstall of my

OS (slipstreamed to SP3), drivers and programs. Either that, or I will

go back to SP2.

I have corrected the problem. The solution was to:

 

1. Start regedit

2. Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HidServ\Parameters

3. Delete the ServiceDll string (if present, and in my case it was

because I had created it a couple of weeks ago) and manually create an

*EXPANDABLE* string value called ServiceDll with the value

%SystemRoot%\System32\hidserv.dll (this would be the same value and name

as the string I deleted.)

 

I was now able to start the Human Interface Device service and after

rebooting, I was able to verify that it now starts on its own.

 

What it was that caused the problem in the first place, I haven't a clue.

 

Just wanted to put closure on this thread. Over and out.

I wasn't sure how to start a different thread, although my problem seems

similar.

I get a cyclic redundancy when trying to install any wireless mouse. The HID

acts like it's loading but errors out. Also, when I go into Services, and

try to start the HID service, it gives me Error 126: The specified module

could not be found. I'm stumped. I have installed these mice on many

computers. The one I'm having problems with is a Dell Latitude D600 Notebook.

I forgot to mention, I'm running XP Pro SP2. The Wireless mice are a

Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000. and a Logitech V220 Cordless

Optical Notebook Mouse.

Re: Unable to get HID service to run.

 

"Human Interface Device Service" is a file that deals with keyboards, mice,

and other devices connected through the USB bus.

 

hidserv.exe provides support for USB multimedia devices with the Microsoft

Windows operating system. This program is important for the stable and

secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

Re: Unable to get HID service to run.

 

Thanks, Kelly. I figured out that I had a corrupt file, so I copied the I386

folder to a new location, then deleted it from C:\Windows\Drivers Cache. Then

I went to Device Manager, and Scanned For Hardware Changes. I was prompted to

insert my Windows XP disk, and it found/installed all of the necessary files.

I copied the I386 folder back to it's original location. Everything runs

perfectly.
