Huge drivers problem

Hi,

Since some time, every time I connect new hardware, like usb pendrives or
hard drives, the system can not find the drivers and therefor I can not use
the device.
I know this simple hardwares dont come with cd drivers because it is
supposed to be installed automatically by windows, but after some time Im
having this problem and not sure why........

JPG

What operating system? 32bit or 64bit?

I was wondering about the same thing - thought it was my laptop - I plugged
the thumb drive into another port and it recognized it... but sometimes my
external mouse just stops working as well, so I change ports... is it a VISTA
issue?

It is absolutely amazing, I have seen thousands of posts everywhere with the
same problem, and all the time people respond to look for the drivers of the
product. That is not the problem, because this products should not come with
any driver, since windows should have them and there is no fix for it rather
thatn reformat.
I cant believe, how bad this system is.

Please refer to the following Knowledge Base article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940199/

While the symptoms might be different, the underlying problem is the same
in majority of the cases.

This fix is also contained in SP1 for Vista.

Why can't you understand?
The hardware producers must write drivers for their product to work with
Vista.
Many provided MS with drivers to include with Vista, but that was ~ 18
months ago.
Hardware keeps changing, and it's up to the maker to provide the drivers.

I dont understand why it was working perfect before, recognizing everything,
and from moment to another, it does not even recognize a simple pen drive.
This is absolutely not an operating system someone can trust.

ok, i am having the same problem, but...
1. i have service pack 1
2. the mentioned fix says that it is "not required"

it is asking me to install someting as simple as a keyboard, but seems to
recognise hardware that has already been installed.
