mHotkey causing boot error.

I posted this error before here: http://www.windowsbbs.com/showthread.php?t=38536
but did not know what caused it. I have since found out that if I do not load mHotkey at startup I do not get the error. Any ideas how to fix this so I can load mHotkey?

 

Have you tried uninstalling mHotKey and reinstalling it? Does it start and work normally when you manually start it? It might be a timing problem at startup. Those can be a little tough to troubleshoot.

I notice a calendar header in the background. Does that pertain to mHotkey?

I Googled and found that mHotKeys seems to be part of "Chicony" keyboard drivers. Do you have such a keyboard?

 

No I don't have the program, I guess is came with this computer.

No I get the same error.

No that is a great program from XemiComputers called Active Desktop Calendar.

 

Well...if your keyboard works Ok without that program starting, I'd just leave it disabled so as not to get the error message.

It seems as if you've solved your own problem.

Thanks, keyboard works just fine without it, so out it goes!

 

That sounds like a wise choice. Perhaps set a Restore Point just in case.
