    Disabled is the default for Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2.

    You may not have any peripherals that require this service. If one of yours
    magically does not function anymore, set it to automatic. Namely, scanners
    with function buttons (fax, copy) or even an "Internet" keyboard with volume
    or play controls.

    Default XP Home: Disabled
    Default XP Pro: Disabled
    Safe Setting: Disabled

    Service name (registry): HidServ

    There may be something that you have to install in Add/Remove windows
    Components, but I can't figure out what.

    hidserv.dll = HID Audio Service

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
    Services\HidServ\Parameters
    Says: ServiceDll is %SystemRoot%\System32\hidserv.dll

    I set Human Interface Device Access service to Manual and tried to start it.
    Got this message.

    ---------------------------
    Services
    ---------------------------
    Could not start the Human Interface Device Access service on Local Computer.



    Error 126: The specified module could not be found.


    ---------------------------
    OK
    ---------------------------

    No kidding. hidserv.dll does not exist in %SystemRoot%\System32

    There should be a hidserv.dll in %SystemRoot%\System32\dllcache

    <quote>
    Note if getting the error below when starting the service, then one has to
    open the archive <install-cd>\i368\Drivers.cab and extract the following
    files to %SystemRoot%\System32:
    hidserv.dll
    mouhid.sys
    mouclass.sys

    Event ID: 7023
    Could not start the Human Interface Device Access service on Local Computer.

    http://smallvoid.com/tweak/winnt/ser...i.html#HIDSERV

    I have a hidserv.dll in %SystemRoot%\System32\dllcache
    I have a mouhid.sys in %SystemRoot%\System32\dllcache
    I have a mouclass.sys in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache and
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers

    All three can be copied to %SystemRoot%\System32

    I did not try it, because I do not need the service for anything.

    Hope this helps. Let us know.

    Thank you - HID (Human Interface Device) SERVICE

    **Thank you Kindly, I do have a Logiteh optical usb mouse, however obviously
    it doesn't require the support of this service, and now I think I
    understand, I just don't have a device that meets the requirement or need.
    See below (**). I don't have the Logitech s/w installed for my optical usb
    hid mouse, it's truly plug & play.

    ** Yes, and the device would have s/w and the s/w installation would no
    doubt enable the service, Windows would have the knowledge and needed files.
