The main question is... Where the hell does Vista download drivers ?!
Now if you want the details keep reading, but that's mostly what I want to know...
This is it Trust - USB Headset HS-4100; now here's my problem...
When I put the headset in the usb port vista automatically downloaded and installed the drivers for it. I found out later that any half-intelligent human being would configure vista to ASK before doing such a horrid thing; unfortunately I'm a troglodyte and didn't do so from the beginning...
The problem with the driver vista found is that it recognizes my headset as a stereo system, when in fact it has that nice surround chip inside. The trust drivers would let me configure my mike and my headphones to my heart's desire too. Alas, I can't install the drivers unless I put the headset in the usb.
So... I disabled the auto-download driver policy windows has, prompting it to ASK me before it does so; after I uninstall the driver from the device manager and try to install the TRUST drivers, the moment in which I plug the headset in the usb, vista starts installing it's ALREADY downloaded driver FASTER than the trust driver installer can install his, so mid-install it tells me "installation failed", since the vista driver got installed quicker.
The way I see things with my limited common-sense, the problem is this, windows will ask me if I want to install a driver only if it's not found locally, since the driver it found earlier and installed is somewhere on my hard it won't ask for nuthin', it just installs... the prick. I have to find it and delete it manually. I tried to search for " C Media"(that's the driver vista installs) on my computer but I can't fin anything, SO...
