| | How do I install a USB Mass Storage Device driver My PC ignores my Gizmo which was working as my Readyboost memory and my external HD is also ignored. How do I get the USB working again - this is a fresh install which I mistakenly thought would fix everything. |

| | Re: How do I install a USB Mass Storage Device driver Depends what USB chipset you have. Intel, for ex, has a Chipset Identification Utility and the you can download the appropriate Cipset.inf from Intel. It will not install if it's the wrong one. If you have an OEM PC, check the CD's that came w/ the PC or look for drivers on the PC manufacturer website. If it's a home brew, the motherboard manufacturer should have the drivers. You might also try the Add Hardware wizard in Control Panel.

Currently Device Manager is showing: 3 x SiS7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controllers 1 x Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller 4 x USB Root Hubs I forced the Enhanced Controller but obviously it is not seeing my Mass Storage Device(Gizmo) After a few more hours I discovered that if I turn off USB2.0 support in the BIOS then XP recognises my Gizmo etc. but tells me that it would run faster if I had a high speed port! If I turn it on then XP locks up conversly in Vista with it on Vista ignores the Gizmo and it is identified as an Unknown USB Device. Apparently SiS don't provide a USB2 driver Microsoft does but I can't find it! Should I try to install all the Enhanced USB drivers regadless of brand untill hopefully I find one that works or what? |

| | Re: How do I install a USB Mass Storage Device driver I have the same problem. If you have installed all the USB updates and still have the problem, then you are stuck. I don't think Microsoft know how to fix the Vista USB problems.
