When I plug-in a new device, the install comes up and never finds the
drivers. It says to put a disk in for everything even USB memory drives. I
have to to browse to the C:\windows\system32\Driverstore directory and tell
it search. It does find the driver and installs in too. I have to do this
for each part of the discovery/installation process. USB Mass storage
device, Sony Storage media USB Device, Generic Volume, Storage Media. I
have to the install process where to look each time. Why would this not be
finding them automatically?

I have the same problem, On a clean install of Vista Home Premium, when i
plug new hardware eg usb flash drives, PCI Pata cards (Silicon image 0680)
in, windows can't find the drivers. Now i know windows has these drives or my
drivers work as i have reinstalled windows with the hardware plugged in and
there they are. If i remove the hardware and then later plug them back in
windows is unable to find driver and yes it's the same install.

My specs are;
MSI K9N Platinum S940 nForce 570 MS7250
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 5200+
2 Gig Ram
Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT
Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109
AverMedia DVB-t TV Tuner (A16AR)

I had the exact problem described, previously installed USB hardware
would prompt for drivers when I reconnected it. Had to browse to the
Driverstore folder multiple times for each device. I found the solution
on another forum (after much searching). This forum turned up on my
google search for the problem so I wanted to post it here. Hopefully it
will help someone else.

The C:\WINDOWS\INF\INFCACHE.1 file is corrupted. It needs to be deleted
but you need permission to do it since its a protected file. Browse to
the C:\WINDOWS\INF folder, right-click the INFCACHE.1 file and choose
properties. Go to the Security tab and click the Edit... button. Click
Add..., enter "Users" (minus the quotes) in the box, click Check Names,
then click OK. Check the Full Control box in the allow column, then
click OK. You can now delete the file. Worked perfectly for me! Hope
this helps.

WHAT problem would that be, doofus?

BTW... KEITH LEFT THE BUILDING IN DECEMBER OF 2006. Do you really
expect an answer from him?

Paul,
I'm sorry that you think so little of yourself that you must call other
people names.

If you would take the time to look I responded to a message posted in
August 2008 and again if you took the time you could follow the thread
and know what the topic of the problem.

I took the time to look before I posted, because your post was
meaningless without any background info included with it.

I went to Vistaheads and there were two posts in the thread, the one
from 2006 and yours.

Neither had any info.
