i8042-Tastatur- und PS/2-Mausanschluss-Treiber (lsiehe Registry). Auf einem Intel 845-Board tauchte die Fehlermeldung 7026 (Service Control Manager) auf, wenn Tastatur UND Maus auf USB gesteckt waren. Nach Umstecken der USB-Tastatur mit einem Adapter auf den PS/2-Anschluss wurde der Port-Treiber problemlos geladen. Es ist möglich, in der Registry den Schüssel ErrorControl von 1 auf 0 zu setzen - nicht empfehlenswert. Lästig: Man kann im Anmeldefester nicht in das Passwort-Feld klicken (Cursor folgt der Maus nicht) und kein Passwort eingeben, meist bei Benutzerwechsel. Also PS/2.
