could not start Human Interface Device access service

[Qing Huo]

Hi,

When I connected a device (like digital camera) through USB into my
computer, the computer system cannot find it. And the system could find it
if I rescaned the hardware from the "device manager". So I checked the
services and found the service "Human Interface Device" cannot be started.
It didnot work even I tried many times.

I want to make sure if the problem is caused HID service. And if yes, what
can I do with it?

Thanks

Hi,

The following error will occur if any of the three files (hidserv.dll,
mouhid.sys and mouclass.sys) are missing.

Could not start the Human Interface Device Access service on Local
Computer. Error 126: the specified module could not be found

Extract hidserv.dll, mouhid.sys and mouclass.sys from drivers.cab in the
Windows XP CD to "<Systemroot>\Windows\System32\" to fix the issue.

1.Insert Windows XP Setup CD.
2.Browse to <CD-ROM>:\i386\drivers.cab
3.Double click the drivers.cab file. The compressed files in the Cab file
will be listed.
4.Copy the three files to <SystemRoot>\windows\system32\. Reboot the
computer.

The Human Interface Device Access service will then be started.
