Windows XP problem
I've tried a number of ways to try to solve the following problem but none works so I hope a Ppruner can help.
I am running XP on a Time computer with all SP2 updates installed but when I try to install anything via USB, XP can't find the drivers. This even applies to my CD rom. So anything which should self install won't. This includes cameras, flash drives and anything which does not come with an installation CD.
I have tried all sorts of alleged solutions including a hotfix from Microsoft and trying to fix it through the registry but no luck. I have also tried uninstalling and trying to reinstall eveything, which just made everything worse. I had to go back to an earlier restore point to get out of that one.
I'd be grateful for any ideas.
Windows was pre installed so I can't reinstall from a disk.
cheers
