I recently installed a new Logitech cordless keyboard/mouse combo. The items installed successfully but when trying to use the keyboard I received the following error:
"Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)"
Any assistance to overcome this problem greatly appreciated.
Operating System: WinXP 64bit, 2gb RAM, Athlon64 3500+ processor.
Many thanks in advance of your help.

Further careful investigation revealed the culprit to be VMWARE's Virtual Machine Player (VMP), a 32bit application, which I installed prior to connecting up the new kboard/mouse combo.
Uninstalled the offending beast, restored the Registry to an earlier date & all is sweet.
