Vista - Driver search fails everytime - and have to set the search manually (each time) to System32.. help...

Hello,
Replying to an old thread that now has a QFE released to resolve the issue.

This is the problem that was reported when installing new hardware devices
in the system.
937187 Error message when you try to install a new hardware device in
Windows Vista: "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver
software for your device"
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;937187
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
