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 "<drive>:<path>\MOUSEVKD.386."
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, remove the DEVICE=*VKD line from the [386Enh]
section and make sure that section includes the
KEYBOARD=<drive>:<path>\MOUSEVKD.386 line.
