Delete the USB device that has the problem (you do this in
device manager). hen you reboot it will be detected and the
correct drivers installed. It may be necessary to delete
ALL the USB devices, ports and hubs and reboot to get a
clean driver install.

| Have updated using your instructions.....thank you.
| However the problem is still there with my printer. The
| printer shows in the Device manager as an image device
| and shows no conflicts. Below that the USB device does
| show a conflict and no matter where i look i cannot seem
| to find the right driver for. although system32 will
| show as being avaiable, but still no driver is found, and
| I get a message saying that the device is not properly
| installed. In the past I have had to re-format and re-
| load winxp to get the thing to work ....????
