Hello, Our access control system uses a dallas semiconductor button as a software key. The DS1410D service is used for the parallel port adapter while the DS2490 service is used for USB adapter.

 My server does not have a parallel port so the failed to find specified device is what you get (or specified file if you delete the ds1410d.sys file). The DS2490 service starts and our system works just fine. The driver is installed as part of the 1-wire driver package from maxim-ic. From an installation whitepaper I found the registry entries that are made. Unfortunately this did me no good. there is a "start":dword00000002 which I changed to 0 and 1 to no avail. A quick note to maxim-ic.com tech support got this response from the application engineer.

1) Delete the following files: DS1410D.SYS IB10E32.DLL This will disable any parallel port operation.

2) Remove the following registry key: Remove the DS1410D key under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services This will disable the operating system trying to load the DS1410D.SYS driver at bootup. (edit the registry at your own risk!)

3) Reboot (for the current driver and service to be unloaded from memory).

this seems to work. I was unable to delete IB10E21.dll but I could change the extention...odd? So I changed it to a .ddl and did everything else and rebooted. Then I was able to delete the file. No more popup! This was on a 2003 server, but from the whitepaper I found the entries are the same for NT 2000, XP. Hope this helps!
