Craig008,
Some folks have had good luck resolving USB device recognition issues like you have by deleting the INFCACHE.1 file, which can get corrupted with bad data and cause issues like you have. The file is located at C:\Windows\inf. There, scroll down to the INFCACHE.1 file and right click it and select delete. To do this, you will likely have to give yourself permission to delete it, because of Windows built-in Security. Just right click the file, select Properties and then click on the security tab. Let us know whether this procedure does anything. Sometimes it does and sometimes not. Post back on the results. -- freddy "Craig008" wrote: i have just fixed my computer and have to re-install hardware and software, when i came to doing my vision m it says it cannot locate drivers try something else - er like what the drivers are native, it does the same for my usb hub too, any body got any ideas how to sort this lot out, vista is turning into the biggest pain in the rear ever!! -- grapes |

Craig008,
Take another look at how you gave yourself permission. You may not have done the permission thing correctly. Others here have done this many times. Also, here is a link to a Microsoft USB reliability update for Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Try this to determine whether it applies to your situation. Post back on any news. -- freddy "Craig008" wrote: thanks for the help. but windows will not let me delete it, it asks for permission whic i give and then it says it was unable, any neew ideas would be dead handy, i will try anything once! -- grapes "freddy" wrote: Craig008, Some folks have had good luck resolving USB device recognition issues like you have by deleting the INFCACHE.1 file, which can get corrupted with bad data and cause issues like you have.

Craig008,
That's good to hear. Deleting that file seems to produce the desired results most of the time, but not always. Bummer! -- freddy "Craig008" wrote: thanks for all of your help freddy, i changed the permision of that file and then deleted it and all seems to work fien now -- grapes "freddy" wrote: Craig008, Take another look at how you gave yourself permission.
