Thanks for the detailed information Tom.
PowerRay, what inbox driver are you attempting to install? None of the
inbox should require this?
I am attempting to determine if you hit a setup bug where the vendor install
deletes a file on your system and the system PnP setup stuff fails to
regenerate this file properly. If the first manufacture in the list is NOT
Apollo, you have hit this issue and any PnP installs will fail for all USB
hardware that use inbox drivers.
