USB nightmare

I recently decided to take a bold leap and upgraded my Vista 32 bit to
a 64 bit machine. Th efirst day everything worked beautifully. I
downloaded the latest Nforce drivers, creative drivers, and ATI
drivers, most of my hardware installed automatically. Now whenever i
try to install a USB device such as a simple USB drive, it recognizes
a new hardware has been plugged in it tries to install it
automatically but it fails!!! The same thing happens when i try to
attached a USB hub it tries to install it but fails. Pretty much and
usb device i try to intall dose not work. i am using a Microsoft USB bluetooth
keyboard that works great (except my keyboard shows up as unknown device), a USB printer that works great but any new
USB device fails to install. Any ideas?!!!!!!!!!! thank you
i am running on a abit KN9 board, AMD 6400 X2, with 6 gigs of ram

I had a similar problem. Did you install SP1? After many frustrating hours of trying to solve this problem, I uninistalled SP1, and windows was able to install the drivers again.

Thank you, SP! did the trick :D

Is there a way to bypass this without uninstalling SP1?

VistaX64 needs signed 64bit drivers by default, Check your downloading a 64bit driver instead of 32bit and also disable vistaX64 driver signing...


Here’s how to get it done:

1. Open an elevated command prompt
2. type “bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS” without the quotes (and no the DD is not a typo).
3. Reboot and enjoy being able to use unsigned drivers in Vista x64.
4. Remember who told you about this first .
