Device Manager questions

I see two of the following in the Device Manager with yellow icons
containing an "!"

HID Non-User Input Data Filter


The Properties/General and Driver tabs shows the same data for both of them.

The General tab has the following info:

Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)


I believe one is for the keyboard and one is for the mouse.

Are these the code that for the extended keys on the keyboard and extended
buttons on the mouse?

Does it make sense that drive is the same for both of them?


On the Details tab the strings are different.


There is also a HID-compliant device entry in the Device Manager. What is
this for?

Also two USB Human Interface Devices.

These last three do not have the ! icon attached.


The reason I'm interested is that I can't get the extended keys to work on
my laser keyboard 6000 v2.

If I uninstall the devices I mentioned above and reboot, and press the
volume control key while windows is starting, I get the volume icon on the
screen for a little while. The Installed Wireless Device pops up followed by
one (not two) Installed HID-Something, and the volume display fades away and
further pressing the key will not bring it back.


Any helpful suggestion would be appreciated.

Have you tried the windows hardware compatability list to see if your
keyboard is listed

It's an MS keyboard and the box says it XP compatible.
Is there still a need to check?

Thanks
