Man what a pain in the butt problem . It all started when
I installed some cheesy USB card reader on to my system
IBM A31 WIN2K prof. After that the USB ports were DOA. I
removed the card from the hardware manager. Tried about 5
different brands of USB mice and still the same error.
Installation failed because a function driver was not
specified for this device instance
I tried using other drivers, but it always went back to
the usb.inf driver in WINNT/INF.
After some research I read that a windows 98 driver may
have been installed for the usb device and that may be the
problem. When I looked at my usb.inf file the version was
$CHICAGO$ which seems to indicate that this may have been
a Win 98 version. So I removed it, but now the errror is
it can't find any suitable drivers for the device. I think
I just need the right usb.inf file I hope and I don't want
to wipe my disk for this one file if the is the problem. I
applied the hot fix for the storage driver, but it was no
help. Anyone have any ideas about this?
Thanks Ron
