I just asked for this thread to be moved to another forum (instead of Introduce yourself) Not sure why I did'nt ask this before, maybe I have !
Anyway:
Start -> Run -> devmgmt.msc
Click on the + sign on "USB Serial Bus Controllers"
Right click on your USB device (the first one will do)
Select "Update Driver"
Select No to search online for a driver
Next
"Install from a specific location"
Next
"Browse" for your downloaded driver location
Ok
Ok, I fallowed your instructions on to update the usb driver but got no ware. When I reached to the point where you had to browse for the driver location, it would not let me select where I had the driver. I also found the manufacturer disc that had the usb 2.0 driver on it. When I used the devise manager and search the disc it said that the is no new update for it. Any other way to replace the driver?
Yes I do have sp3, but i did not get it from MS update, so is there a way to uninstall what I have and reinstall the MS version?
When I enter sfc into the Run box I see the cmd come up for half a second then go away.
u should be able to uninstall the SP3 in add and remove programs, then go to Windows Update and use the custom install button, u should be able to get it there then if u only check the updates u want, and that being SP3.
Ok, I unistalled the SP3 I got. Then I did what nickc said. About half way through the installing the new sp3 I got and error that said "access denied"
I did enter sfc /scannow and still got the same result as I mentioned before.
ok that work. Now I Have another problem. When i install sp3 from MS update site i get most of the way then it says "access denied" and sp3 has to unistall itself. But it does not uninstall right so i get a bsod (stop: c000135) on start up and i have to repair windows with my original window disk. what can i do so i dont have the 'acccess denied'?
Not sure if you did actually do a Repair or not (from the Windows CD)
But MS state that just doing the sfc /scannow and then installing SP3 should work.
The fact that it didn't may point to a few possibilities: Spyware; incompatable programs; Resident protection programs like Antivirus, Firewall, Spybots etc.
You can also do a system restore (as this is automatically made during the SP3 install)
Once Windows is fully repaired again, I'd suggest doing a full scan, and then remove any resident protection programs and try again.
