Can anyone advise as to whether a registry change or other type of fix is
known that will prevent the following error from continuously re-appearing
in the Event Viewer: "Event ID: 26, Source: i8042prt..."Exceeded the
allowable number of retries (configurable via the Registry)"?  Have found
the registry entry pertaining to this issue. (See
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters\ResendIterations
REG_DWORD >= 0x1). Microsoft Article Q102989 contains related info.

I believe, this problem exists because there is basically no physical
keyboard attached to the device in question which is causing a hardware
operation to time out following polling, etc??? This NT4 server is being
accessed via RIB. Use of a KVM Switch is not possible...If disabling the
i8042prt driver is required, will this impact access via RIB Board which
is working fine at this moment? If I can't prevent these error messages
from being logged, can I reduce the frequency or intervals between each
message to once a day, week, etc???

Thanks..Any help will be appreciated..Ron
