Reinstall USB Driver?
Aug 3, 2005
I got the following error:Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.What I did was I just deleted some part of the registry related to the USB (HKLM Enum and Services parts) and didn't do some backup (Yeah I know.)thinking that maybe the controller will be installed automatically upon hardware change scan. Anybody can tell me how to fix this without reinstalling WinXP? Right-clicking to update driver in Device Manager doesn't work.

I'm running XP Pro SP3 and have recently encountered a problem whereby both the mouse and the keyboard freeze the first time that the keyboard is used. (The system still seems to be running because it performs a normal shutdown when I hit the power button.) Googling suggested uninstalling the keyboard from device manager and then letting it reinstall; however, the add new hardware wizard fails saying that the device driver is corrupt or missing.How do I reinstall the keyboard drivers from the XP Pro CD? I've tried letting the hardware wizard search the cd drive, but it doesn't find anything.I think I had the same problem on my notebook, but I only solved it by reverting to an old Ghost image, because having to press Ctrl-Alt-Del to log on meant I couldn't even access the system with the mouse.

I'm reinstalling my XP Pro OS and I need a file for Extreme Graphics Controller Windows 2000/XP installation disk. The message states I need this file 'ialmnt5.sys'. I have searched google, been on intel, I can't find it. Anyone out there know where to get it? I was going to burn it on cd and put in drive to continue my install. I'm stopped right now for the fileDo I HAVE to have this? Last time I said no, cancel, it completely stopped my install.

I have a Gateway 7422GX which as a Mobility Radeon 9550. I repaired windows using the cd because I restarted my computer and it was either going to take 7min+ to boot, or just wasn't going to. I got stuck at the windows splash screen. I'm using windows professional. Whenever I try to install any of the drivers, I get the same error message: Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system. Setup will now exit.

My Help and Support stopped working about the same time I installed the free utility GhostScript / Gsview so that I could view postscript files. I tried posting a question on another usenet newsgroup, but the answer of: click on install on the C:windowsinfpchealth.inf file - resulted in a search for the file dataspec.xml in the C:windowsinfi386 directory - Unfortunately, such directory does not exist on my C: drive. Furthermore, the "K:I386" directory of my Original Win XP Home CD does not contain any file named "dataspec.xm_ or .xml".And beyond that, I ordered a new Win XP SP2 CD, which just now arrived by mail - and there is no "K:I386" directory on that CD, nor does the CD apparently contain any file called "dataspec" (including dataspec.*).Another effort toward resolution occurred via another usenet post I read, which suggested opening the XP command line feature and executing a system status command, that displayed enabled services - I used that method, and switched the Help and Support service off and then on again. Such action did not in-fact enable the Help feature (including, of course restart), despite the indication that the Help and Support service was enabled. I am, and have been, running a purchased-CD version of Win XP Home, with a downloaded SP2 revision (I have not installed the new Win XP SP2 CD). Basically, I want to find out the means and methods for enabling my Win XP SP2 Help and Support feature, that apparently has been disabled or otherwise rendered inoperative.Is a reinstall of Win XP possible and the best choice? What are the other options?

Des somebdy else know?

I've been having some internet connectivity problems lately, and I believe it's due to some nasty spyware. I've already gone through all the steps to correct this (checking my DSL speed, anti-spyware scans, anti-virus scans, doing it all in safe mode, even reset my winsock.dll, etc.) but I'm still having problems with slow browsers. So now I think I'm faced with reinstalling Windows XP. My question is, should I do a format & reinstall, or is it better to reinstall Windows over my existing version? I have a Compaq Presario, and it comes with a Recovery CD.

I have this seriously big problem on my computer (well why else would i be here)i have a ACER Aspire L100 which is a VERY good pc.it used to have Media Centre edition as the operating system but it suddenly stopped working. so i was forced to install windows xp home edition.now when i install the sound driver ever time i try and open up a media program such as media player or itunes and turns around and tells me that there is a problem with the sound card and another program must be using it. The graphic driver is the other driver that wont install properly. when i run the installation i get a message that reads
ive tried and run windows update but it doesnt find anything.
Thanks in advance
Peter

A possible client of mine has a system with three hard drives. He was not able to install the updates from Windows Update, so somehow, he installed the OS again on another hard drive and booted up with it (not sure how he did that), and it asked him to authenticate the software by buying a new key (the OS was already installed with the same disk and key on the C drive). When he rebooted, it booted from the orginal hard drive (drive C) and original installation of the OS, which was unable to install the Windows Updates. Basically, the OS on the C drive either needs to be repaired, or it needs to be reinstalled. And the drive that has the second instance of the OS needs to be wiped out and formatted.
The question is, if the repair does not fix it and the OS needs to be reinstalled, if the second instance of the OS is wiped out, will it still ask him to buy another key? My guess is no, since he will be reinstalling it, but I'm not sure if the second install triggered it so that any future installs, whether they are on the original system or not, will be asked to be authenticated.

I have a friend with an IE problem which I think may be corrected by reinstalling IE 6 but if she deinstalls it and has no browser how would she go about reinstalling it ? Can she still use her windows updates without a browser ? or will she have to do it from her XP cd? I do believe they will probably have a recovery cd because I think they bought a branded ( yuck) computer.

Alright, so I acquired a computer to use as my HTPC; the only issue is that it is an HP computer that has an OEM copy of XP Home installed, and it is full of crap and has so many corrupt files it makes my head hurt to simply think about. A fresh install is necessary, but I can't do it because I don't have the recovery cd. It has the product key plain as day on the side, so I only need the software to run it. I can get this via torrents, I'm sure, but the only one I've found so far is an OEM copy with SP3. I think the computer is about 5 years old, and I'm pretty sure only SP 1 was around at that time. Did Windows use the same algorithm for SP1-SP3? I.E. will my cd key work with this OEM SP3 cd? I don't want to uninstall everything and then be left with absolutely no OS.

To make a really long story short, about a month ago I got infected with malware and it totally screwed up my computer. Of the many problems I have, whenever I try to open an application I get a prompt to choose what application I want to use to open it. For example, if I try to open Word, it will paradoxically ask me what I want to use to open it. Sometimes choosing the same application from the list works, sometimes it doesn't. Of the numerous other problems I have, I can't open many critical files such as Control Panel. I've tried fixes such as System Restore but nothing works. I want to do a clean install of XP, but when I put the CD in my drive, the prompt screen loads but when I click on "install XP" simply nothing happens.

Long story short my comp got junked up with crap and spyware, and I decided that since i didn't have much important data on it that I would just do a completely fresh install of XP. I can't get my comp to get past the initial setup for XP (i created a streamlined verison with SP2, since,my XP pro version was very old). It will format my drive, and copy the initial setup files, but when it restarts it just reboots the cd and asks me if I want to install windows XP, and proceeds to format and setup files again. After about 6 tries im getting desperate and any help would be useful. I have read a number of XP reinstall guides, but i can't find any info pertaining to my specific problem.

last night i decided to format my pc, so i formated it and tried to reinstall vista, the reinstallation worked fine but then it said i had to have a old version of windows for me to activate, because its an upgrade version.i then formated AGAIN and tried to clean-install XP so i could then upgrade to my vista but during my reinstallation of xp it stopped working. this is where it may get confusing haha, after the first part of the xp install it restarts (the first part meaning where it formats and copys all the files to memory) but just after it restarts it comes up with the screen "press any key to boot to CD." i let it go because ur not ment to boot to cd after that, but on that same screen it comes up with a few different coloured boxes on the screen and it just hangs.

I reinstalled XP Pro from scratch, overwriting the original partition. Everything has worked fine, apart from I have no sound - the system is not even picking up the sound card in control panel, which unfortunately means I have no idea what the sound card is in order to download the drivers to see if this is the problem. The sound is on according to the BIOS.

Reinstalled XP Home after a major crash, everything came back except sound. Tried to install the drivers, but the device wouldn't let them. Used the disc that came with the motherboard, a Gigabyte S-series. Have installed all updates and service packs from Windows. Done everything by the book, but to no avail.

I have a Win xp sp2 machine that will no longer boot. After bios, a win 98 boot screen appears (very similar to a 98 boot floppy screen), asking to make a choice: safe mode is one, and when it is selected, it complains about not finding several windows files: C:windowshimem.sys, dblbuff.sys and ifshlp.sys. Is there a recovery mode for existing installations? Can I reinstall XP SP2 on top of the existing OS and have it preserve everything?

For the past few days the windows XP set-up disc has been in the CD drive and not done anything (I was trying to repair something and left it in because I forgot about it).I switched the PC on when I came home from work and for some unknown reason windows is attempting to reinstall itself. I don't know if this is my own fault for leaving the disc in? Why would this happen out of the blue when the disc has been in for a while and not done this?
Anyway, I'm being taken to a setup screen and being told to insert the CD or setup can't continue. There's no way of backing out of it. Re-starting isn't helping. I've tried rebooting with last good configurations, in safe mode (which didn't work) and it's still telling me to insert the disc.I'm assuming that following through with the install will delete everything I have and all my own configurations. Is there any way of getting out of it?

My brother has given me his old PC and I was planing to do a complete re-installation... so after a few attempts I keptr getting loads of error messages! So I thought it was the HDD... which I completely wiped... Now I boot up with my SP3 disc and it starts to load and then I get " set up did not find any hard disk drives installed on your computer"
After some googling I think there is something to do with a RAID driver?!! The motherboard is an ASUS K8V-MX and I dont have the disc!! So I've been on their website and downloaded the appropriate raid driver... so I started the re-boot with xp disc in, then pressed F6 as instructed and now I am lost... how do i get the driver files on the disc into the system?
