Every USB device plugged in isn't automatically installed
All devices previously plugged in and working have ceased being recognized by
Windows Vista x64. What is the solution so that I won't have to point to "driverstore" everytime I unplug a usb device that was functioning and plug it in again SYMPTOMS of PROBLEM: Whenever a usb device is plugged in, a prompt is displayed allowing 3 choices: -Locate and install driver software (recommended) -Ask me again later -or Don't show message again After selecting Locate and install, I eventually have to point it to %root%/windows/system32/driverstore This method is: -a waste of my time -never happened before the last few days -installs generic/wrong drivers This problem first appeared after my Corsair 4 gb flash drive was recognized as an "embedded hub" and the drivers couldn't be found. |
