"the process
ps2.exe is used to allow multimedia keys on Hewlett Packard keyboards to function correctly. if you stop this process all of the 'normal' keys on the keyboard should still function, but the multimedia keys will not. only stop this process if it is causing instability to your system. ps2.exe is flagged as a system process and does not appear to be a security risk."
try removing any entries with "ps2.exe" from your system startup, from either:
1. Start Menu/Programs/Startup,
2. run "msconfig" and unchecking references to "ps2.exe".
restart the com. only if problem still persists,
3. delete any such entries from [HKLM|HCU]/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentControlSet/Run/ in the registry.
all else fails, come here again and report, or go IT/Tech Help forum.
note that you will lose functionality of those special buttons on your special HP keyboard. if you're already using a normal keyboard, then good, turn off ps2.exe.
