USB drivers

Guest

I have Vista Home installed a main PC and a laptop. I have no problem
connecting USB flash drives or card readers to laptop.

However, on main PC, I can't. Everytime I try and connect a flash drive,
card reader and my camera, Vista insists on looking for drivers, but can't
find them even if I tell it to look in the windows folder. For some reason,
Vista also thinks that these USB items are CD-ROM drives!!!!

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? It's getting to be a right pain, I
even went out and bought a new flash drive and card reader just to see if it
did the same thing. It does!!!!!!!!

Is anyone from Microsoft reading this????????????????

TIA

From a post by Cal Bear '66


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

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

Delete INFCACHE.1, or rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or temporarily move to your
desktop.

REBOOT"

Windows will rebuild the cache.

By the way, not to often does anyone from Microsoft read this. It is a users
news group.

Hi

Many thanks. I'd already tried this and it didn't work. But, I did find a
post that said there was a hotfis for USB problems, which you had to contact
MS for. I did and got the fix. Everything seems to be working now.

Do you happen to have a KB number?
