| Guest | Have Problem With Hardware Devices? Try This Before Posting Try this fix to see if it repairs your problem. This solution has worked for some people with problematic USB and General Devices: 1. Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf 2. Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit, and give your account full control. 3. Delete INFCACHE.1 (Or just to be safe, rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or temporarily move to your desktop but you shouldn't need to, windows doesn't need that file to run, and if it needs to it recreates it). 4. REBOOT -- Jonathan Perreault Old Advise: Do Not Undermine Windows's Work, Or It'll Undermine You As A User. New Word Of Advice: Torture Windows (Any) Now Before It Tortures You |

| Guest | RE: Have Problem With Hardware Devices? Try This Before Posting MS, What's the official stance on this problem? My searches suggest it's existed since at least beta. Why no fix?

| Guest | Re: Have Problem With Hardware Devices? Try This Before Posting i wouldn't know really, i don't keep up with what microsoft is doing, i'm just someone who had some problems with that file, and i used that temporary fix and everything worked well afterwards. but i can't wait untill they get that fix, my guess is they are still experimenting with the fix to make sure the bugs are minimal. -- Jonathan Perreault Old Advice #1: Do Not Undermine Windows's Work, New Advice#2: Torture Windows (Any) Now Or It'll Undermine You As A User.
