Default "USB Device not Recognized"

I have the same problem, I have a Lenovo T60p and a Lenovo webcam, it was
working O.K. but suddenly after I installed Vista SP1 it didn't work anymore,
so I uninstalled SP1 but, you know what? Now it didn't works neither, I'm
totally lost, can someone give me some clue to solve this issue? I know I'm
not the only one, but is Microsoft doing something to give a solution?

Interesting, Jonathan:
I tried your suggestion, but Vista SP1 has gotten very touchy about
changes.
Got to Windows/INF/INFCACHE.1, made a copy (INFCACHE.Copy-1, the tried to
delete the orig., but after Vista went through its security dialog boxes, it
still wouldn't let me delete the file. I then tried to rename it
INFCACHE.BAK, but the same ritual transpired...Vista said no go again.

Try this fix to see if it repairs your problem, Before Posting. This
solution has worked for
some people with problematic USB and General Devices:

1. Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf

2. Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties Security Edit,
and give your account full control.

3. Delete INFCACHE.1 (Or just to be safe, rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or
temporarily move to your desktop but you shouldn't need to, windows doesn't
need that file to run, and if it needs to it recreates it).

4. REBOOT
