Hi all, until last night everything was ok. After I'd cleaned the computer and plugged everything back in windows decides it can't find drivers for any of my usb devices (keyboard, mouse, camera, gamepad, joystick).
When it finds them it says new hardware found. with 3 choices:
Locate and install driver
Ask me again later
Don't show this message again
So I click the first option, and it searches for drivers but...'Could not find driver software'. I then click 'Check online for a solution' with no luck.
These devices are so basic that the manufacturers don't supply drivers for the products; they should all be with the OS.
What can I do guys? I'm a keen photographer (I rarely stray from the photo forums here
) and not being able to upload my photos via the camera or card reader is a real issue for me.
By the way the above process happens for all the usb hardware I have except the printer, usb flash drive, mouse and keyboard (luckily!)
