Solve : Unable to locate USB drivers in Vista.?

Answer» <html><body><p>Greetings all.<br/><br/>Microsoft seems to have stopped replying to me, so I wanted to try out my luck here since I've successfully gotten help here in the past.  The issue I'm having is with almost every USB device I plug into my computer after making the move from XP to Vista.  Devices such as USB keyboards, USB mouses, USB microphones, my Zune, my cell phone, all have driver location related problems.<br/><br/>I've dealt with the customer service of many of these products to no avail, and I've tried swapping out devices in the chance that I got <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/something-25913" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SOMETHING">SOMETHING</a> defective.  No dice.  And Microsoft stopped replying to me.<br/><br/>When installing the software for things such as USB receivers, the install says I don't have a device plugged in and cannot install the driver.  When I plug the device in the found new hardware wizard does come up so it does recognize it.  However, when attempting to install drivers it fails.  It cannot find anything in preconfigured driver folders, or windows update.  Then it asks for the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cd-236847" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CD">CD</a> for the device, which I insert and it still fails to locate drivers.  For some devices it points me to windows update, which I download and install.  It's a standalone updater, and when I run it it says it is not applicable to my system.  I run Windows Update and even as of this post it says I am 100% up to date.  I have gone around the new device wizard and downloaded and installed the drivers for some of the devices manually, but it still does not recognize them and brings up the wizard when I plug any of them in.  I've also had the devices <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/search-11324" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SEARCH">SEARCH</a> the drivers folder in system32 in the windows directory with no success.<br/><br/>I'm not sure what kind of information is needed to address the issue so I'll just list some <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/stuff-25659" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about STUFF">STUFF</a>.  I'm running off an ASUS P4C800 E-DELUXE motherboard.  Intel Pentium 4 processor, not sure that has anything to do with it.  I'm operating Windows Vista Home <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/premium-2555" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PREMIUM">PREMIUM</a>.  My BIOS is American Megatrends Inc. 1016.001, 2/23/2004.<br/><br/>Thanks for your time.Is this installation of Vista an upgrade from another OS? Yep, it was an upgrade from XP.Do you have anything odd showing up in Device Manager?  Yellow exclamation points or the like?</p></body></html>
