Rebooting when ending capture

[kataomoi]

I wanted to pass this information along just in case anyone else was having a similar problem.

My setup is a P4 2.26, WinXP Pro, Ti4200, using VirtualDub.
About a week ago I was trying to capture video and it captured fine. I hit "Esc" to stop the capture and my computer rebooted. It did not write the end of file so it was useless. I tried a few other times and it was the same result. I downloaded other capture programs (TVTool, etc.) and everytime I tried to stop the capture, my PC would reboot. I finally sat and looked at my Event Viewer log today and noticed these errors:

The P2k service depends on the following nonexistent service: BUSBD

The nVidia WDM TVTuner service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

The nVidia WDM TVAudio Crossbar service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

Through a little bit of trial and error, I finally figured out that by disabling the Human Interface Device Access service, I somehow broke the video capturing. I re-enabled this service and everything is fine now. I hope this helps someone!

Where/how exactly did you do this?

It's under control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. I initially disabled this service because the description sounded like something I would never need because I don't have a multimedia keyboard.

"Enables generic input access to Human Interface Devices (HID), which activates and maintains the use of predefined hot buttons on keyboards, remote controls, and other multimedia devices. If this service is stopped, hot buttons controlled by this service will no longer function. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start."

Everyday I get closer to buying a Mac...

Windows Key + R key > Services.msc
Opens the Services Console in W2K and XP
I have been experimenting in choosing which services to shut down. NO real problems when I shut down anything related to network. I am unable to stop Telephony but I am able to Pause it. No real difference either way.

I get closer to buying Intel :P

Thanks for the heads up.
