Windows needs to install drivers for xxx
Ok, this is really starting to annoy me now. Everytime I turn on my pc I get
lots of these messages. The software for the devices is installed. This includes my new Logitech MX5000 keyboard and mouse, it asks for drivers for the BT Mini-REceiver, My HP D5160 printer, and even my older microsoft mouse and keyboard. If I click find drivers windows doesnt find anything. With my printer, I can uninstall and reinstall, and it will work, then on a restart it doesnt work. Im using the latest drivers for all the devices and still get errors. Any help?

Windows needs to install drivers for xxx
Adz06,
A bad cache file in Windows sometimes can cause this condition. I suspect that your C:\windows\inf\INFCACHE.1 is corrupted. The fix is to delete that file. (Before you can delete it you must edit its file permissions to grant Full Control to the Users group.) Right click the file and select Properties. You'll see the tab. As background, when Windows has problems identifying drivers, it stores them in the above indicated cache.1 file. This file then can produce the problems you have. Get rid of it. If that step doesn't solve your problem, post back. -- freddy "Adz06" wrote: Ok, this is really starting to annoy me now. Everytime I turn on my pc I get lots of these messages.

Thanks Freddy, that worked perfectly, everything is up and running now.
One quick question, with my printer, I dont always keep it plugged in to the power as I need the socket for other things. It seems it I unplug it, next time I want to use I have to wait for windows to reinstall the drivers, which with my HP printer, can take up to 10 minutes, not so handy when I just want to print something. Is this right? Or can I force Vista to remember my printer whether its plugged in or not? Adam "freddy" wrote: Adz06, A bad cache file in Windows sometimes can cause this condition.

Windows needs to install drivers for xxx
I am having the same problems. my PCI device, PCI to PCI bridge, flash drives, keyboard etc all are looking fo rdriver software. I have tried deleting the inf/CACHE, It was also suggested in another thread that I edit one of the registries to direct toward system32, neither of these have worked. Any other Ideas? -- AndyMcG Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

Try installing / reinstalling chip set drivers for your motherboard.
