Hallelujah! USB problems sorted with fix from Microsoft.

[Guest]

For some time, I've been having trouble with Vista losing the drivers for my
devices when I wake it up from the low-power/sleep mode.

Although it doesn't seem to be part of the regular Windows Update,
JKontheRun posted a cumulative fix that has ironed out all my USB woes (so it
seems, after a day of using it). It's posted here:

Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere in this forum, but I wanted
others to have the benefit of this solution. (Which also fixes the
interminable "Calculating time remaining..." dialogue boxes.)

Cheers,
Hamish MacDonald

Sorry, I was wrong: This morning when I woke my computer from hibernation, I
got a message telling me that the computer no longer recognised my printer.

Ah well.

Have you tried this update?

Microsoft has released a cumulative update rollup for Windows Vista. This rollup helps
establish a quality baseline for the USB core components on the Windows Vista operating system.
This rollup supersedes previously-released USB fixes and contains additional high-applicability
USB fixes.
