USB flash drive problem with "unsigned driver"

[C.M.G.]

Windows xp pro sp2

I recently tried to install a USB flash drive. During the installation
routine by the "new hardware found" wizard, I encountered an "unsigned
driver / has not passed logo testing" error.

I initially attributed this to a quirk of the product I had bought, and
tried several others, all with the same problem. I ultimately tried one of
the drives that gave me the error on a different windows xp machine, and the
installation routine proceeded without invoking the wizard looking for a
driver, and without the unsigned driver error message.

It therefore seems that error is with the first machine, not with the flash
drive.

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Thanks,

Clem.

Lieber Uwe,

The first solution from Microsoft's KB article worked.

Vielen Dank!
