See How to Make Old Programs Work on Windows 10 section on trying to work with unsigned drivers. Hope that helps

I also agree with Sven1458 and Itaregid. No vendor continues to support old hardware forever with new drivers. When you say You must be referring to running the EXE file you d/l from AMD? The word "driver" is ambiguous. It's used to refer to both the "driver package" as well as the "device...

1. How are you creating the USB flash drive? Are you letting MS build it? Create installation media for Windows 8.1 - Windows Help) Have you tried re-creating the USB install drive? 2. Are installing Win 8 or 8.1?? Though in either case i think the SATA drivers should be included :confused...

@haroldg Don't know if I can help but will have a look at your situation. What device hardware are you trying to install that gives this error???? Now we're going to recreate the problem and I'll look at the log file > Delete C:\Windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log > Plug the device in and wait for the...

@brooksndun IMHO A warning: I believe that approach won't work. Even worse, it can break a different and totally unrelated driver The files you see listed in Driver File Details doesn't show you the .cat ("security catalog") file that contains the driver's digital signature. Without the...

I had a thought.. and went back to skim the thread. Do you need an image backup? or do you just need a data file/folder backup? or do you need a backup at all? Are you saying the OS is on the SSD and your data on the other drive? If so a reinstall on the SSD won't touch your data On the one...

Unfortunately, your case of USB "driver corruption" isn't the typical case i've found that's often fixed with a few file tweaks. So i'm unable to help manually fixing the driver files :( That said, I agree with brooksndun > Uninstall any driver installation you find listed under Programs and...

By definition, USB 2.x controllers have the number 2 and/or the word "enhanced" in the device name. We were installing the drivers for your USB 2.x controllers. (enhanced was in the device name) Device Manager logs install/uninstall device attempts. The log file isn't easy to read.. but i...

Good work! You were a step ahead of me. The Root Hubs use the same driver installation files. So manually update the hubs as well pointing to same files as before

Not a problem. That's just naming convention for x64 driver Let's try this next: Right click an "enhanced" controller->Update Driver. Browse your computer for the driver and browse to the usbport.inf_amd64_5b9f5e3f7703e95d folder

None??? That's odd. But in any case, we'll manually restore and see if Windows will do the rest. Browse to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository Now scroll down looking for folder names that start with usbport.inf. There may be more then one folder name starting usbport.inf. If...

Yep. Looks like the driver files are corrupt. First, set Windows to display know extensions (makes it easier to do the next steps) Control Panel->Folder Options->View Uncheck "Hide extensions for know file types" Tell me which of these files are (or aren't) there C:\Windows\inf\usbport.inf...

I just skimmed the thread so I'll just ask: Are you still having problems with your USB controllers as shown in your first post? I've seen those symptoms and in many cases solved the problem before. It's typically caused by either: > Microsoft usb controller driver is corrupt and/or > A 3rd...

Also check for any BIOS updates for your machine

Did you check PC settings as described in the post i referenced in that thread? (it was dated 17 july 2014)

Try a look through how to activate Bluetooth using wireless switch on dell inspiron 3542 thread . Although title is for a 3542 seems to solve some 3541 problems as well. See post by DELL-Chris M 17 July 2014. Make sure BT is turn on in settings (turn off then back on) and THEN try the wireless key

I don't fully understand all the detail behind it but might help shed some light with a generalized overview (as best I understand it). Microsoft added the concept of device "containers" in Vista (but tweaked the concept in Win 7). From an MS spec: Container IDs are generated for plug and...

I think the OP is saying they want to upgrade to Windows 10 @DKMitt I think you'd be better to describe the problems you're having / what error messages you are seeing when you try to upgrade rather then your conclusion.

I recently had a similar situation where it took a looong time for Disk Management to load. It was due to a failing USB external drive. See if your problem is localized to the flash drive being plugged in. If so, probably a defective flash drive and not a machine or Windows issue. (if it's the...

On the one hand, not sure what you mean as to white vs blue On the other hand, not sure it matters. My best advice is to run the Intel® Driver Update Utility and let it choose the correct chipset drivers for you.
