    I just installed LDD 3 on my Toshiba Laptop running Win XP. Although LDD
    runs fine, everytime I boot up the laptop I get the error message "Hotkey
    utility stopped working, windows needs to close program".

    I never used hotkey and I don't know anything about it. I changed the
    compatibility to Win 2000, I still get the error. Any advice will be
    appreciated. Please reply to newsgroup.

    Thanks

    Does your computer have special email, internet, music etc keys? Those
    are the keys probably referred to. (IMHO) LDD probably screwed up the
    files for those keys or overwrote a dll file with a different one with
    the same name. If you don't use those keys, run msconfig and stop the
    special keyboard program that activates those keys. Although you can
    theoretically reinstall the keyboard software, that could screw up LDD.
    That means you have to chose, and I'm guessing LDD is more important to
    you than hotkeys.
