phillyman2004 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) Got a machine that whenever something is inserted such as a PS2 mouse or USB flash drive, Windows pops up the Install New Hardware , But wont install the default drivers. I already dropped into "Local Machine >> Software >> Microsoft >> Windows >> Current Version". I took out everything and just placed %SystemRoot%\Inf.The type is Reg_SZ , i dont know if that matters. But i am running out of ideas to get this machine to recognize new devices.Any Help is appriciated Edited January 14, 2007 by phillyman2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Has it had files removed or system paths modified? nLitened? Tweaked? Just direct the wizard to system32 and system32\drivers. I wouldn't do any registry changes especially when you aren't 100% sure of what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just direct the wizard to system32 and system32\drivers. I wouldn't do any registry changes especially when you aren't 100% sure of what you're doing.I compared the Registry key to another machine , and it was differentREG_SZ and on the working machine it was REG_EXPAND_SZSo i exported just that part of the key , i think it was in Hex......anyways after i imported it on the other machine. Everything worked fine.After i explained it someone told me that Expand is used when a key uses a System variable. I could have achieved the same results by just using the hard address.All Good Now !
