I had exactly the same problem. Every time I plugged in a new usb flash drive I got the annoying "Add New hardware wizard". Since I deal with students I get lots of usb flash drives this has become very embarrassing.

I found a solution for myself and hope it would be helpful to others. I compared two usbstor.inf files - one from my computer and another one from a clean computer. I found that mine had an extra line at the end of the file:
[Microsoft]

So I deleted the line and updated the driver using the same inf file, and it worked!

I tried, but the other thread is closed and the message under it advised to start a new thread with a reference to the old one.

Opps. Sorry.

Cheers,

This information is lost to everyone by being posted here (in reference to the earlier thread that is). Thank you for posting it however.

I have mentioned the fact to Forum Management, perhaps they will rectify the situation.

You can also use the "Contact Us" link which is found at the bottom of the web page to voice your concerns, if you wish.

I'm waiting for the white paper entitled "Finding Employment in the Era of Occupational Irrelevancy
