Duplicate Device: VKD





CAUSE
These problems occur because the Toshiba original equipment manufacturer (OEM) version of Windows changes the KEYBOARD= entry in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file from KEYBOARD=*VKD to DEVICE=*VKD. The Microsoft Mouse driver setup program looks for the KEYBOARD= entry to add the information " : \MOUSEVKD.386."
