AlexK · December 31st, 2007

Hello all

I just got a G15 as a christmas present, but the media keys doenst seem to work at all.. Ive tried the fix in this thread but the expand string in regedit is allready there.. I also have a MX610 Laser mouse which uses Setpoint.. So if u know any solutions to this i would be extatic

Everything else on the keyboard works fine..

What media player are you using?

My media keys work with WMP11 and VLC as well as the Zune player.

Don't remember using it with other players and I don't use winamp, but it worked with winamp back in the day.

If you are using Winamp you have to goto Options> Pref>Global Hotkeys> Then check the first box and second box.

AlexK · January 1st, 2008

Hmm, my replies are disappearing :P

Winamp doenst work. Ive checked the boxes as told, still didnt work..

Maybe my mouse is interferring.? it has 3 media keys ( mute, volume up/down )

You have installed the drivers from Logitech, right?

AlexK · January 1st, 2008

Yes i have installed it.. Everything else on the keyboard works fine , except the 5 mediabuttons.

look in Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services - check to see if HID (Human Interface Device Access) is set to auto and started

AlexK · January 1st, 2008

I cant start the Human interface device.. It comes up with this warning

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

Dark Atheist · January 1st, 2008

im guessing you have XP SP2 if so you can either do this from the cd or the system32\dllcache folder

copy hidserv.dll, mouhid.sys and mouclass.sys from XP CD's i386\ directory to windows\system32

or from c:\windows\system32\dllcache

AlexK · January 1st, 2008

Thanks ill try it when i have the time

#
didnt find any dllcache in system32?
#

AlexK · January 1st, 2008

The only file on my XP SP2 CD is the hidserv.IN_file

No - mouhid.sys, mouclass.sys or hidserv.dll

Where could i find them then?

#
The hidserv.dll file is not in my Windows folder..
The service is also supposed to run inside svchost.exe.. So maybe its my svchost.exe thats not working?

Dark Atheist · January 1st, 2008

uninstall the logitech drivers - reboot - make sure you reinstall latest drivers, seems im confused between windows versions

- my xp laptop does not have that file although vista pc does!

AlexK · January 1st, 2008

yes i have a hid.dll

How do i uninstall the drivers? Just uninstall the software?

Dark Atheist · January 1st, 2008

they all the same

AlexK · January 1st, 2008

Hehe okay ill try..

Dark Atheist · January 1st, 2008

i have found the files - i was looking in the wrong place

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.

If you are in windows just launch msconfig then click on Expand File.
