USB device can not be installed

Hi,

When I plug in any "new" usb device (mouse and keyboard are working now), it will take forever trying to install the driver then come back saying failed.  

I have tried from power off and unplug the power core to this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953691

none of them works, any ideas?  thx

I am using win 7 x64

check folder
C:\Windows\INF
and if there are files USBSTOR.inf and USBSTOR.pnf. If the are not, check folder:
C:\windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_x86_neutral_xyz
and copy them into INF folder. Reboot you machine and check if it will work

Also System restore can be helpful, but I am a not a big fan of windows system restore :)
Also run System File Checker to see if can correct needed system files. Run SFC /SCANNOW and allow to complete. Restart and test.

I tried both use flash drivers, they picked up right away.  When I tried the mini sd card with card reader, it just sits there, even if "scan hardware"

Also, when I tried the web cam, it has "searching preconfigured driver folder" popped up and running forever....thx
