I have stopped trying to fix the missing HID problem for a while since I
became frustrated with it. I still cannot get the files the website says I
need. The listed files it says are needed are
Hidusb.sys
Hidclass.sys
Hidparse.sys
Mouhid.sys
I no longer have access to a computer that has HID listed under device
manager. Any ideas?
