Hi everyone, I hope someone can please help me.

Since installing about 13 Windows Update's sometime last week, I've noticed
my USB ports have been playing up.

Every couple if minutes i get a warning saying "Windows needs to install
driver software for your Unknown Device" even though nothing new has been put
in. When I check for the updated drivers, it says it is unable to find the
correct drivers and offers an online solution (Update for Windows Vista,
32-bit versions (KB940199)) but that won't install - it 'Doesn't apply to
your system' apparently.

Also, my flash drive will not be recognized either - it goes through the
same 'Unknown device' routine as described above.

I've used System Restore to take my computer back before the updates and I
encounter no problems at all, but obviously i'll want to keep Vista updated.

Is this a known issue, and what can I do to get the USB ports functioning
properly?

I have vista 32bit by the way.

Thank you,
Robbie.
