| | Vista driver for generic USB hub? I have a generic Ritmo 4port USB hub that works fine on XP, but not on Vista. Vista doesn't recognise it at all, and I can't find a driver for it on the net! This seems crazy because it's such a generic plug and play device. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

Thanks! This may be worth a shot: Problems with USB memory sticks and other devices are not uncommon in Vista and there is a fix that appears to work for many (it worked for me). Locate the file INFCACHE.1 on the PC. You'll find it in <OS drive>\Windows\inf Give yourself full control of INFCACHE.1 by right-clicking on it, then Properties->Security->Edit to add your users group with full control. Delete INFCACHE.1 Reboot your machine, then try the USB memory stick (or device). Hopefully, Vista will now find and install the needed driver. |

| | Re: Vista driver for generic USB hub? I just switched computers and also to Vista. Couldn't connect my usb hub (Belkin 2.0, 4 port - n drivers on line for this item) and followed the suggestion about the changes to the infcache.1 file - and voila - we have life!
