hotkey.sys unable to run under restricted user group

[Guest Paul]

Hi,

 

I am having issues attempting to load Acer's hotkey.sys under a

non-administrative account. The notebook is a AMD T64 running XP 64.

 

The hotkey.sys driver is needed to access the Bluetooth and WLAN on/off

buttons while operating under Windows. It is located in the syswow64/drivers

folder. However, unless I give the user adminstrator rights, it is

impossible to load this driver. Even under poweruser group the hotkey.sys

will not load. I can not give my users adminstrative rights of course, so I

am stuck with them not being able to use WLAN functions while on biz trips.

Any idea?

 

Thanks.
