This is for the hot keys associated with Hp keyboards. If you terminate it (I tried) the hot keys don't work as well.

This executable if for Keyboard and Mouse and is installed with default both drivers. But is not necessary for running MM Keyb ou WheelMouse because Windows XP is already compatible with this hardware. Note: Keyboard and Mouse don't need special drivers to work, just don't install the driver for not use this executable.

If in your BIOS settings you have for the PS2 Mouse port have set either Auto or Enabled this driver will load. It is in fact for IRQ12 port which is usually enabled for PS2 mouse ports. If you do not have a PS2 mouse (Has a green connector going into back of the keyboard) or it is a USB mouse then in your BIOS settings put the PS2 Setting to DISABLED.

Easy to remove: Use reg cleaner or advance sytemoptimizer to clean startup. If u dont have that then search for file under hp and startup .. must clear reg file or delete the exe. the reg file is important to delete so it wont put itself back into startup. Note there should not be any startup programs. But for virus, spyware , battery etc. are still optional. They are for convieneience. They slow your computer down no matter how fast yours is, it will! I t is harmless other than for overall speed. Not needed. but still not a threst .. My advice" Chill, or remove it.
