Monitoring the device manager while unplugging my input devices.... I 
should have thought of that /: Unfortunately, knowing which drivers were 
relevant didn't help. I tried uninstalling the unnecessary items, but 
they came back as quickly as I could remove them. Some of them are 
apparently mouse drivers, though why there should be more than one is 
beyond me.

The Startup tab in msconfig shows nothing keyboard-related. I googled 
everything in there, and most of the items are needed.

One of the items Windows tries to install is an eHome infrared 
transceiver. My box has remote control support, but I never use it. I'll 
  just try to install those three items; maybe Windows will stop bugging 
me...
