G-Series Gaming Keyboards

[Swoop0]

I have recently wiped and reloaded my computer.  Now for some reason whether I have the keyboard software installed or not.  If I move the volume dial at all it causes windows to hang and I have to reboot to get out of it.  I am not sure what started this all as it worked fine before the reload and no hardware has changed.  I have tried reloading windows again and only have the keyboard software installed and it still seems to do it.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

i have the same problem, i have wiped xp 3 times now and then i installed vista and i didnt have the problem anymore so it must be something to  do with a update with sp3. also im using a g9 mouse and that stops working the mouse moves but it wont let me click anything but i have the newer g15 (one with the orange lights)

Actually, I did figure this one out.

It ended up being a virus.  It showed itself in the Task Manager as scvhost.exe (Note: not svchost.exe)  Also it wasn't run by "SYSTEM" it was created by your own account.

Google scvhost and you will get some hits on it.

Goodluck.

Tricky virus writers. I'll be marking this as a solution
