Reboot first, or try another USB port before worrying about infcache.1

Should that fail, deleting infcache.1 is harmless, it’s just a cache and will be rebuilt (with correct data) when needed.

Just a quick query…

I have a USB wired retractable mouse which i have used for a good while on this laptop.

Started up my laptop today, and mouse ‘is not recognise’ yet the mouse is fine in terms of cable condition etc.

I have followed these steps, should i really delete this InfCache file though, or just try restarting my laptop. Basically, I want to know if deleting the said file will cause any other problems/changes, and seek more information on stuff i should be aware of regarding this change e.g. will ALL other usb devices/drivers ALL need to be reinstalled? =/

Would appreciate some feedback/help, thankyou

Sorry Nick, but I’ve got no idea at all about that one.

Thank you for the INFCACHE.1 info…

However, my problem is that Mozilla Firefox 7.01.1 will not work with the Logitech Setpoint Vertical Options. When I ‘left click’ on the Vertical Bar nothing appears. In IE9 it displays a drop down box to ‘Scroll Here’, or ‘Top’. I tried reloading, but to no avail. Would you have any suggestions. It is not covered in the Q and A or FAQ at Logitech.

Thanks!

Thank you so much. The winsxs solution worked for me. I’ve spent many hours searching the Internet and yours is the only solution I’ve found that worked.

Update on USB

Printer continued to work

removing the INFCACHE.1 file (renamed xxINFCACHE.1) did not result in a new INFCACHE.1 file being created

elsewhere on the WEB i have seen the suggestion to copy the INFCACHE.1 from another fuctiong Vista PC and paste it into my inf file ?

problem seems to be with any USN device that has memory ie , memory stick, Ipod, camera

I have a Dell inspiration 1200, running Vista

previously working USB memory stick produces error “you need to format this device before you can use it ”

previously working iPod produces “your ipod is corrupt and need to reformat it ”

both worked fine befor ein this PC and continue to work fine in another PC

when I try to delete the USB devices in Devicwe manager, they reappear automatically in the devic emanager upon re-boot

Do I need to move the infcashe.1 file for this problem ? or what am i doing wrong ?
