Does anyone have a specific suggestion how to hunt down the barrier ?


This worked for me


In the case of KB911895 failure the solution is:
Go to C:\windows\system32\drivers and delete wdf01000.sys.
Then the KB911895 will install.

If so, was it working at the time? If not, did you used to have one?

Have you tried downloading the update from the Microsoft Update Catalog, and
then installing it in Safe Mode?

If that is not a typo you might be better off asking in a newsgroup
which supports whatever language you are getting your KB articles in.

So, is that what you are trying to do? Are you sure that it is applicable
for your case?

Sounds like someone has already asked you for diagnostics and done
an analysis of them for you? What did they ask for? Why not ask them
for a better explanation of their conclusions and recommendation?

FWIW I wouldn't be so quick to assume that they are wrong.
It might be that the update is not appropriate for your system
in which case suppressing its offer is the *only* thing that you can do
until the metadata which causes it to be offered to you is changed
on the AU server.



Does anyone have a specific suggestion how to hunt down the barrier ?


In general what you can do is search in all files which the update changed
for instances of either the hex code or its decimal equivalent.
So, in this case search all files which changed on that day for each of
643 and 1603; then sort the results by Date Modified and scroll to
the time of day that the update was done. Open any files which look
like diagnostic files (e.g. .log files) in Notepad. If you don't have an
association for a file's extension just drag it to an already opened Notepad
window. Find the context of the code in the diagnostic and then scroll
backwards to figure out what it really is informing you about. If these
clues are not sufficient you can also supplement whatever diagnostics
you do find by running ProcMon when you rerun the install of the update.


Good luck

Thanks--there was a typo. The download that won't install is thanks for your helpful response. there was a typo--the download was Microsoft - Other hardware - HID Non-User Input Data Filter (KB 911895)

Thanks.

I do have a Microsoft Wireless 2000 Optical Mouse and it has never given me
a problem. Nor do I have any problem placing my pc on standby or hibernation
which I only do manually. I also rarely use a screensaver, but when I choose
to do so it works. I don't have any idea what problem this update is supposed
to fix.

My computer is in use this evening, but thank you for the idea of
downloading the driver and trying to install it in safe mode. I will try
later or during the weekend when I can tolerate a restart.

This suddenly appeared through the notification icon in my systray and was
presented as a critical update so I took it seriously. How can one tell
whether the proferred update is appropriate for your machine or a Windows
Update process mistake when it won't install ?

Go to C:\Windows\system32\drivers and delete wdf01000.sys

Then, go to windows update, and select Custom. Then select hardware
updates,
and HID non-user Input data filter should be there again. Now select
download and install, and it should enter the correct information and
fix
your HID non-user Input Data Filter Error / fatal error / failed to

Thanks some more. I followed the link to the catalog and downloaded
the update. The information from the site says essentially to double
click on the downloaded file and follow the directionsl When I did
that (not in safe mode) the copy/move utility opened. At this point I
don't know how to make use of the file in safe mode or otherwise so I
will keep researching.

Could you clarify what you mean by "copy/move utility"? If you're not sure how

CAB FILE

My Wireless Optical Mouse 2000 is not on the list of problem devices in

"Article ID: 911895 - Last Review: November 29, 2007 - Revision: 11.4
The screen saver does not work when you use a Microsoft wireless pointing
device on a Windows Vista-based computer"

and I have a WindowsXP Home SP3 based computer, but the software for the
mouse is Intellipoint 6.1 which is on the list. Since I have had no problems
using the mouse or any of the problem issues I have found linked to this
download at this time it seems clear I should not try to install it.

Thanks for your help in leading me to this realization.

Does anyone have a specific suggestion how to hunt down the barrier ?
In general what you can do is search in all files which the update changed
for instances of either the hex code or its decimal equivalent.
So, in this case search all files which changed on that day for each of
643 and 1603; then sort the results by Date Modified and scroll to
the time of day that the update was done. Open any files which look
like diagnostic files (e.g. .log files) in Notepad. If you don't have an
association for a file's extension just drag it to an already opened Notepad
window. Find the context of the code in the diagnostic and then scroll
backwards to figure out what it really is informing you about. If these
clues are not sufficient you can also supplement whatever diagnostics
you do find by running ProcMon when you rerun the install of the update.
Good luck

Thanks--there was a typo. The download that won't install is thanks for your helpful response. there was a typo--the download was Microsoft - Other hardware - HID Non-User Input Data Filter (KB 911895)
Thanks.
I do have a Microsoft Wireless 2000 Optical Mouse and it has never given me
a problem. Nor do I have any problem placing my pc on standby or hibernation
which I only do manually. I also rarely use a screensaver, but when I choose
to do so it works. I don't have any idea what problem this update is supposed
to fix.
My computer is in use this evening, but thank you for the idea of
downloading the driver and trying to install it in safe mode. I will try
later or during the weekend when I can tolerate a restart.
This suddenly appeared through the notification icon in my systray and was
presented as a critical update so I took it seriously. How can one tell
whether the proferred update is appropriate for your machine or a Windows
Update process mistake when it won't install ?

Thanks some more. I followed the link to the catalog and downloaded
the update. The information from the site says essentially to double
click on the downloaded file and follow the directionsl When I did
that (not in safe mode) the copy/move utility opened. At this point I
don't know how to make use of the file in safe mode or otherwise so I
will keep researching. If anyone is willing to post directions about
what to do with the file in the 'Microsoft - Other hardware - HID Non-
User Input Data Filter (KB 911895)' which came down from the catalog
containing a file named 'X86-zh-tw_de_el_en_es_fr_it_ko_pt-br_ru_zh-
cn_pt_ja-nec-20264387_6e08d8505eae1a080db4768bc46f57980933161d' I
would be grateful

I had the same problem so I attempted to use your solution. Unfortunately,
Help and Support won't respond. I have attempted several remedies from the
forum with no success. I will deal with that separately but in the meantime,
is there another way to review the Update history?

I have had several problems installing Microsoft HID Non-User Input Data
Filter on multiple machines and so far, the fix that has worked for me
is to delete (or rename) c:\windows\system32\drivers\wdf01000.sys and
rerun Windows Update.

I used your fix and it solved the problem. Thanks

This worked for me


In the case of KB911895 failure the solution is:
Go to C:\windows\system32\drivers and delete wdf01000.sys.
Then the KB911895 will install.

For future reference,

Jonathan tells me that Microsoft online support were (eventually) able to
resolve his problem, by removing wdf01000.sys from the drivers folder. At this
point the update installed successfully via WU.

Could you clarify what you mean by "copy/move utility"? If you're not sure howbest to describe it, you can attach a screenshot.

TERACOPY 2.01

Right-click on the file and select Properties, and tell me what it says under
"Type of file".

CAB FILE

My Wireless Optical Mouse 2000 is not on the list of problem devices in

"Article ID: 911895 - Last Review: November 29, 2007 - Revision: 11.4
The screen saver does not work when you use a Microsoft wireless pointing
device on a Windows Vista-based computer"

and I have a WindowsXP Home SP3 based computer, but the software for the
mouse is Intellipoint 6.1 which is on the list. Since I have had no problems
using the mouse or any of the problem issues I have found linked to this
download at this time it seems clear I should not try to install it.

Thanks for your help in leading me to this realization.

fyi- with caution that what solved the problem on my machine may harm
yours--so be careful and backup before trying any fixes:

I had the same problem, was initially told to hide the update since I had no
os problem to solve, but I asked for clarification since the update site
always said I needed the update, but it would not install..

I was able to escalate my Microsoft Online Support request and the problem
was eventually resolved.

fyi here is the simple solution that worked and permitted the update to
download and install. It consisted of removing a file named wdf01000 from the
WindowsXP System 32 Drivers folder in order to check if it was corrupted and
blocking the installation, storing it in a temporary folder, and then having
the update site do a custom search for updates for my computer. This driver
was replaced as part of the { Windows XP Microsoft - Other hardware - HID
Non-User Input Data Filter (KB 911895) } update which then successfully
installed.

Again, this problem apparently can have various causes, so what solved my
problem may worsen yours and those who try this should be cautious.
