SYMPTOMS
When you try to run Windows in 386 enhanced mode, you receive the following
error message:
Invalid VxD dynamic link call to device number 000D, service number
000E. Your Windows configuration is invalid. Run the Windows setup
program again to correct this problem.
CAUSE
Device number 000D means that the error was caused by a call to the virtual
keyboard device referenced in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
The default Windows entry is:
Keyboard=*vkd
The Microsoft Mouse Setup version 9.0 changes this line to read:
Keyboard=C:\MOUSE\MOUSEVKD.386
Third-party mouse drivers may change this line to reference a different
keyboard driver. If Windows cannot find the driver because it has been
deleted or is corrupted, or the keyboard= entry is missing or blank, the
dynamic link call error message appears.
RESOLUTION
If you remove the Microsoft Mouse driver 9.0 and are using Microsoft Mouse
driver 8.2, you can prevent the error message by changing the keyboard line
in the [386Enh] section to read as follows:
Keyboard=*vkd
If you are still using Microsoft Mouse driver 9.0, run Microsoft Mouse 9.0
Setup again to correct this error.
