Hey Fred, thanx alot, I hav a feelin this has partially solved my problem, I
am able to partially install my printer, it works somehow tho..... but my
iPod, my flash drive, a sandisk Titanium 2GB cruzer, still doesn't work....I
read d help in device manager on how to "Configure Windows to Search
Additional Folders for Device Drivers", it directs me to DevicePath in the
registry key"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version",
but there is no such folder as DevicePath in that registry key....

The Found New Hardware report has changed from "windows cannot find the
software for your device" to "windows found the software for your device, but
encountered an error while installing your device". The problem and solutions
report keeps tellin me to upgrade my vista KB940199, but evrytime I try it,
it keeps telling me "this update does not apply to your system". What else do
u fink I can do, thanx for ur earlier reply, it really gave me hope....
