Windows XP: The mouse and keyboard are not working; there is IRQ Resource Conflict

I have spend over 2 days looking for the solution to the mouse and keyboard not working for Windows XP after the manual system restore.

PROBLEMS:
1) After you restore the system restore from the Recovery Console for Windows XP, you may find that the mouse and keyboard (both serial ports) are not working.
There is yellow exclamation mark at the Device Manager for the keyboard and it shows Resources Conflict between the mouse and keyboard.

You can use USB Mouse to plug into the PC which will be able to work despite of the Resources Conflict for PS/2 mouse.

2) Your PS/2 mouse and keyboard are not detected by Windows XP after installing of software

3) Keyboard is not working for Windows XP due to Code 39 error message at Device Manager


Possible Root Cause of the problems: Registry File has corrupted entry for "Kbdclass" data which altered to format like "tphclhs kbdclass"

Solution: Find the corrupted data entry in the Registry and edit them back to "Kbdclass"



STEPS BY STEPS GUIDES

1)Start> Run> type regedit or go to Regedit32.exe located at the system32 folder at C:\Windows\System32\Regedit32.exe.

As you cannot type, you can copy and paste from the saved file that you opened before starting to edit the registry.


2) Click on Edit -> Find, Type in 'Upperfilters' and look at "Keys", "Values" and "data" but
uncheck "Match whole strings only"

3) Search for as many 'Upperfilters' as you can find. First start from the path as stated below and
look for data with entry "kbdclass" and other like 'tphclhs kbdclass'.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\

NOTES: There are several drivers associated with Upperfilters eg PartMgr, kbdclass, mouclass which must NOT
be deleted otherwise Code 10 error message will appear to say that driver cannot be loaded

4) Double click the 'Upperfilters' and only edit the corrupted data eg.'tphclhs kbdclass' to 'kbdclass'

5) Search for all instances of this and change only corrupted data to 'kbdclass' at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Registry

6) Go to Device Manager and uninstall your keyboard - then 'scan for hardware changes'. The keyboard driver
should be able to load and ask you to restart the PC


7) You will need to restart the PC in order to complete the installation of keyboard driver


DONE!

RM15 million ringgit pledge to Chinese schools is a bait for votes

I suggest to vote against BN so that by next GE or State Election, you can expect 100 times increase in allocation to SIBU in order to win back the hearts of SIBU PEOPLE. From RM18 mil to RM1.80 billion for SIBU is achievable if SIBU Chinese voters vote for DAP. If the voters bow down to Money this time, you will get no pledge next time. The trick is to with-hold the vote from BN this time and you can get more next time around!

PEOPLE's power is the real political game. PEOPLE are wise to control money and not let money be the masters over us. So voters can take the Money and vote wisely.

This comment from Kim Quek is down-to-earth and worth reading.

Quote

These are the headlines splashed on a Chinese newspaper on May 13 reporting on the Sibu parliamentary by-election campaigns:

“RM10 million for Chinese primary schools”

“RM5 million for Chinese independent secondary schools”

“RM3 million for Christian missionary schools”

The newspaper was reporting on a grand ceremony where Prime Minister Najib Razak handed over cheques for the above amounts to the respective representatives of these schools.

Najib said Barisan Nasional was the only “true friend” that Chinese educationists can count on. He further said:

“Please, I help you, you help me.”

“It won’t cost you anything to give us what we want. We will do what we should to give you what you want. And you know what I want.”

In their moment of jubilation over this once-in-a-lifetime titanic windfall of cash for the Chinese and Christian schools, the local community should perhaps ponder these questions:

· If there was no by-election, would these schools have received any of the above cash?

· Does anyone have the slightest doubt of what Najib wants from you as a trade off?

· Was it not absolutely clear to you that Najib was asking for your votes when he gave you the money?

After pondering over the above events for a few moments, it should not be too difficult for the average person to establish the following:

1. Najib was trying to solicit for your votes with the above cash hand-out.

2. The money does not belong to Najib or Barisan Nasional, but to the citizens of the country.

3. Such impromptu hand-out of cash with the ulterior motive to bribe for votes is an abuse of power in addition to committing corruption.

Now, what should we do with the prime minister who has just committed election bribery as well as abuse of power?

We can report his offence to the Election Commission (EC) and the police for them to take action against him.

Or we can take legal action like what Pakatan Rakyat leader Datuk Zaid Ibrahim is doing over similar offence in the recent Hulu Selangor by-election.

The first option did not seem to work, as the EC and police have always played deaf and blind to election offences committed by BN leaders.

The second option did not seem to have made an impression on Najib and his cohorts, otherwise Najib would not have so openly committed the same offence.

Fortunately, we have the third option which is also the most powerful and the most effective. And that is to cast your votes against those who try to bribe you.

The Chinese community in Hulu Selangor has just done it. Najib had offered to give RM3 million cash to the Rasa Chinese Primary School on condition that they voted for BN. Despite that tempting offer, over 80 per cent of the Chinese in Rasa voted against BN. They would rather sacrifice the much needed cash than to give up their principle.

And that principle is: Votes are not for sale. It is better to forego short-term benefits than to destroy our long term interests of struggling for a good government to replace the rotten one, a sample of which has been more than clearly illustrated by the conduct of the prime minister himself.

Granting a victory to BN in Sibu is to endorse the perverted principle that it is legally and morally acceptable to use money and other inducement to buy votes. And that would be the last nail to the coffin that has already virtually buried democracy in this country.

And so the people of Sibu have the wonderful opportunity of putting a stop to this nonsense and save our democratic way of life from extinction by casting their votes wisely.

Will Sibuans prove as valiant and as wise as their compatriots in Hulu Selangor?

Sodomy II: Court rejects stay appeal (Updated)

It seems to me that the Judge has been fixed and it is a conspiracy against Anwar. There is no justice in this trial. The case should be closed as it is a wastage of tax-payers' money.

===============================================

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has failed to get the written statement of Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan from the prosecution.

The High Court here ruled Wednesday that there was no contradiction on the part of Mohd Saiful over evidence that the sodomy incident had occured without his consent.

Justice Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah said earlier that the Attorney-General had discretion to frame a lesser charge, although there was strong evidence against the person.

Anwar's lead counsel Karpal Singh has applied for a stay of the trial, pending an appeal over the dismissal of the application to supply Mohd Saiful's written statement to the defence.

The court stood down for an hour to decide over the stay appeal. The judge also reminded the parties over the existence of "contempt proceedings" in his court, and adjourned.

Court proceedings resumed at 11.05am.

The stay appeal was rejected by the court and Mohd Saiful will continue to testify.

Karpal submitted that the court would be in contempt if it ignored a Federal Court case law which required Anwar to file an affidavit first to apply for stay.

On Tuesday, Karpal applied for Mohd Saiful's statements recorded during the investigation of the sodomy case to be supplied to the defence for the purpose of cross-examination.

Karpal argued that the charge against Anwar under Section 377B of the Penal Code was for committing the sexual act with consent, while Mohd Saiful's evidence in court and his witness statements implied an alleged offence under Section 377C for a sexual act without consent.

He submitted that the defence had the right to have the statements to study the possibility of impeaching Mohd Saiful.

"Mohd Saiful stated in his police report that the incident took place without his consent. He confirmed this when he testified in court on Monday and he alleged the same thing today (Tuesday).

"This is not an ordinary case. The attention of the court is being directed to the contradiction and the court has to determine the discrepancies and decide over this.

"If we can prove that the witness lied in court, then we can impeach him," Karpal said.

Karpal contended that the issue of contradiction was being raised for the first time in Malaysian legal history.

Lead prosecutor Solicitor-General II Datuk Mohd Yusof Zainal Abiden said there was no basis for the court to direct the prosecution to provide a copy of the statements to the defence.

He said the Attorney-General had the discretion when deciding to frame a lesser charge against Anwar.

Anwar, 63, claimed trial to sodomising 25-year-old Mohd Saiful, his former personal aide, at the Desa Damansara Condominium in Bukit Damansara on June 26, 2008.

Meanwhile, the trial was adjourned to Thursday after Karpal Singh told the court he had had filed a notice of appeal at the Court of Appeal to to stay proceedings pending the appeal.

The judge said that the court would hear the application for the stay of proceedsings on Thursday.
