Hardware errors After Windows Update
I guess I would approach this in the following order:
1) What did you get from Windows update? What kind of update affects both the USB controller and the graphics subsystem? In general the advice goes: stick to OS updates from Windows Update; optional and especially hardware updates should be gotten from the hardware manufacturer or PC mfg-er's sites! 2) if you press F8 while the system boots, you should be able to choose the last known good configuration, and the sytem should revert back to before you had the problem. Let this forum know if this helps or if you figure out the problem, so others can benefit from it. As far as I know the "notify me of replies" doesn't work, so don't count on this feature. Good luck, hope this helps a bit...

Hardware errors After Windows Update
The updates were from the microsoft server. I used the system restore
feature and the system is now back to working order, even if it has not been updated. As for the updates that affect the two devices I have no idea. I can gues and say that the updates for the devices may have caused more resources to be needed than whould have been avalible, and as a result this problem occur. Apart from that there is nothing to indicate the drivers were faulty. All update were obtained from the Microsoft website, this includes the drivers as well. So I can not figure out why these would cause the error mentioned in the last post. Windows would not place these in my update window if my system did not need them or would it. I look forward to comments, Thankyou for the help so far. |

Generally it is preferable to download drivers for manufactured PCs from the
manufacturers website or the device manufacturers website, they are more specifically prepared for the model of PC/device purchased. The MS driver updates are as they say generic & are not always reliable, on some machines OK, some not. Set you MS Update to download updates but not to install, then when you are notified updates available select the ones you wish to install, generally again MS driver updates are usually marked as "reccommended". This is something I have been doing for several years now (XP/Vista) and have had no problems with upgrades. -- Regards Bob J If advise given from anyone, solves problem or not, or if solved from another source,post back & let us know.

Tru reinstaling your motherboard and gfx card drivers from your manufactures disk. You can always update them later. Personally I try not to update motherboard drivers from microsoft. -- roy69 - Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Abit IP35 Pro - 4 x 1GB OcUK PC2-6400 C5 800 MHZ Duel Channel - Leadtek GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB GDDR3 - CiBox TFT 22" Widescreen LCD Panel. 1680 x 1050 - Creative X-Fi 7.1 PCI-E - Antec 900 Ultimate Gaming Case - Creative Inspire 7.1 T7900 Speakers |

I tried loads of things after installing the optional updates, finding that I
could not use mainboard usbs, only pci casd usbs worked. Got it working again by rolling back the standard openhcd usb host controller driver in device manager Hope works for you too. Last time I install optional updates! Ian "akagiredsun1" wrote: I'm having the exact same problem on my end... however, I can't go backwards to my previous restore points.

Hardware errors After Windows Update
As I said, for Windows Update, stick to OS updates that are critical or
recommended. Don't get any hardware updates or optional (esp hardware) updates there. Go to the Mfg-er's website for those. It's very good advice to get the LIST of available updates first, and then choose carefully!
