USB Devices
Hi,
I purchased DELL PC with Vista Home Premium pre-installed. It was working great but from last few days, I am getting driver not found message for all the USB devices even for Optical Mouse. I tried inserting the driver CD which came along with the PC but no help. Even searching for driver on net didn't help. Windows shows message that driver is not installed for the Optical Mouse. Has anyone encountered similar problem? Please suggest any solution. Thanks Sachin

Your C:\windows\inf\INFCACHE.1 file is probably corrupted and should be deleted. Before you can delete it you need to edit its file permissions to grant Full Control to the Users group.

Thanks for your reply Don.
Problem is resolved by specifying path of driver C:\windows\System32. Windows was not able to search driver automatically but explicitly specifying path worked. Still not sure what action trigerred this problem. Further, my USB Flash drive is still not functioning, Vista says USB is malfunctioning but same flash drive is working fine on XP machine "Don" wrote in message ...

Yes, that exactly fits with a corrupted INFCACHE.1 as I described below. It's a bug that MS is working on, but the workaround will fix it until MS comes up with a real solution.
