Application doesn't look right
Well I had a problem with one of my hard drives not showing up the other day
and I was trying to re-install the drivers like it suggested and nothing. I came across this application called keyhook in my system folder and its labeled as an application but I dont know what it is. When I checked into the properties, under the Legal Trademarks it lists only $, for the Original Filename its called KEYHOOK.EXE. The Product name says its SIS (R) Compatible Super VGA keyboard daemon. Im not sure if this is right but it doesnt look right to me. Anyone with some advice on what to do, I tried to delete it but cant because "the specified file is being used by Windows. |

I also have this particular Keyhook.exe in my harddrive and my spyware and
Virus checker do not recognise it as a problem file. It shows a small red icon like a spider next to it. My problem is that every so often my computer shuts down completely with no warning. In the C directory there is a Notepad message called Keyhook and when I open it the following message reads:- ----------------- DestroyWindow FreeDirectInput ----------------- I have to reboot the computer twice to get it back to normal, as first reboot stops just before the Welcome Screen apppears and I then have to reboot again. If anybody can help it would be most appreciated and anything technical I cannot understand.
