[…] Windows Vista / USB device detection problems | The Dave – Move or delete the file INFCACHE.1. Reinstall a device to force Windows to rebuild the INFCACHE.1 file (DO NOT reinstall the same external hard drive that you were having issues detecting before. Please connect another USB device other than the one that Vista had an issue detecting). […]

Hey, this is similar to a problem I’ve been having. My network adapter is not recognized, with that exact error. My adapter is a Netgear wn111v2. I have tried deleting the infcache file, but it hasn’t worked. This is not the first time this has happened. The last time, I also used this solution and it did. I don’t knoknow why it won’t work this time. If you could offer advice i would be very grateful. Typing on a phone is annoying, but it’s the only internet access i have.

Hi, I have tried the INFCACHE.1 and it did not work. I am trying SDW’s step by step only problem is I only get as far as expanding the tree on step 2.

when getting to step 3 the matter of “Update the driver for all Unknown Device” is not possible as this is not an option. I could sound really silly in saying that here but I am at a dead end? all the options available are…..

-HID-complaint consumer control device
-HID-complaint device
-HID-complaint device
-HID-complaint device
-HID-complaint device
-Sony firmware extension parser device
-USB human interface device
-USB human interface device

Where am I going wrong? Someone please help me out, I have been hitting dead ends for at least a week now

Thanks sdw, your solution solved this problem!

I tried deleting the infcache file, but the problem reappeared after I restart my PC. Hope the problem is gone for good now.
