Vista - Re: Old usb devices work fine,new usb devices would not install

To answer, I get no error code, but I do get an error message to the
effect that Vista asks me where to locate the drivers (one would think
the downloaded drivers or CD would know where to look for them). I can't
remember the exact wording but it along the lines of "installing device
driver SW" followed by option window "Found New Hardware".Under "Found
New Hardware" window, I get the choices of automatically find driver
(Recommended), Browse manually to drivers or "Ask Me again later". If I
choose the automatic route, it finds everything but the scanner and says
the installation of unknown device (scanner) failed and the installation
routine refuses to go any further and just sits there. If I cancel out,
Vista sometimes informs me to download the kb941600 at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941600/ but when I do that, it tells me
it doesn't apply to my system. For some reason, I don't get the message
to do that download anymore, but all the other symptoms remain the same.
