    USB problems with plug and play devices.

    Recently I purchased the In-sight Motion Webcam - Model# IC825C and installed
    it into windows vista. It took several attempts to laod, but it finanly did
    work. The camera was able to work for about 3 weeks, although t the actual
    software for the camera didn't work, I could make the camera adjustments in
    windows Live or Yahoo Messenger. Several of the important camera features
    didn't work. Last week, Iwent to move my desk, and I put my computer in a
    more webcam friendly positon. When i restarted the computer the camera
    wouldn't work. I unistalled the software and treid to reload the software. I
    even went to the manufacturer of the camera and got the Vista drivers. The
    Operating system could not recognise the camera in the USB ports, no matter
    what ports i used. The Operating system, would report a USB PC camera was
    there, but it wasn't the right camera. The suggestion tool said that windows
    has attempted to install the Trust WB-3550TP Mini USB2, but the driver was
    not supported by vista, and sent me to a huge hardware compatibility list.
    The information seemed helpful, until you realise, i bought a IN-Sight Motion
    Webcam- Model IC825C which is made by Micro Innovations, and not Trust. I
    think what is happening after i have analyzed this for qa couple of days is,
    the operating system, has the wrong information, and isn't recognizing the
    right camera. I don't really know how to explain this, but it seems to me,
    the OS is filled with inaccurate data on certain manufacturers peripherials.
    The OS can recognize that something is on the USB port sometimes, but it
    selects the wrong data for the plug-in-play device. I don't really know what
    to do. I tried to reinstal windows, but it wouldn't reinstal, and it reverted
    back to my original copy of windows vista. That fact that it did that, is
    really cool. In the past, that might have meant a 3 day session on reloading
    system files. I don't accept the manufacturers explaination, that the
    hardwareis incompatible with the OS. If that were so, why would they have
    made a VISTA driver, knowing the camera can't work. I think their tech assist
    was giving me some bad information. I say this, because the operating system
    was running the camera a while ago for 3 weeks. I think the data stored in
    the OS for the plug-in-play devices are faulty. I totally based this on a
    pure guess, because, i am not exactly sure how windows vista actually
    recognizes Plug-in=play devices currently. I am going to try the reload the
    root hub fro the usb ports one at a time technique, to see what that does.
    Also, because i was thinking of doing that.

    Re: USB problems with plug and play devices.

    This solution has worked for some people with problematic USB devices:

    Locate the file INFCACHE.1 in C:\Windows\inf

    Right click on the INFCACHE.1 file, select Properties >Security > Edit, and give
    your account full control.

    Delete INFCACHE.1, or rename it to INFCACHE.1.BAK or temporarily move to your
    desktop.

    REBOOT

    If this works for you, you can delete the INFCACHE.1 file. Windows will not
    recreate it.

    Re: USB problems with plug and play devices.

    Right click INFCACHE.1 and select Properties. On the Security tab, press the
    Edit button and approve UAC. Highlight Users and check the Full Control check
    box. Press the Apply button. Press OK. Now you can delete, rename or move.

    Re: USB problems with plug and play devices.

    hey Cal, small world eh?
    i am logged on as administrator. i was able to switch to full control and
    changed infache to infcache.1.bak but i'm still experiencing the same issues.
    i decided to see if my hardware was being recognized in Device Manager and
    they are listed when plugged in but again i'm being asked to install drivers
    for my usb plug and play devices. i'm really at a loss here. thanks for all
    your time Cal, greatly appreciated.

    Re: USB problems with plug and play devices.

    Technician said that there was an internal disk fault with some electricity
    component. I'll get a new probably tomorrow.
