Looks as if you have been around the world with your problem I have a hard time keeping up with you
Of course I have a 5 ฝ Hrs. + 2 generations handicap You have answered my last 2 POSTS before I could transmit I research & verify my info 1st [Do not want to add to the problem] I have noticed you on the other Forums [USB MAN] has [GOOD INFO] but seems to have [Boilerplate/Canned] answers
You probably do have a [Registry] problem/s we all do Just the nature of [WINDOWS?] How many times have you gone thru the OS installation? Still am confused/question when or how USB Printer problem occurred You are trying to solve too many problems at once Here are some registry related Web sites Have you been there yet?
RegistryFix
http://www.registryfix.com/?hop=truvalRegistryMechanic
http://www.pctools.c...ic/?ref=googleAAbout [Ghosting] effect That is what [SCRUBBER] Utility was to address That is a problem and is more than likely related to your problem All the times you have changed/reinstalled OS The remains are still there Plus all the times of Uninstalling USB Controllers & Reinstalling has to be a problem Plus the Printer Drivers which Scrubber was to cure It probably did correct the Printer Driver issue but did not address the USB Controller ISSUE
Try the Registry approach & then inquire [USB MAN] about USB Controller Ghosting I believe that there is a way to Uninstall the [HIDDEN] instances/occurrences of the USB CONTROLLERS I think(?} that it may be that you might be able to accomplish this by:
1- Using [SAFE MODE]
2- Using [CONTROL PANEL] > [ADD or REMOVE HARDWARE] and/or [ADD or REMOVE PROGRAMS] to Uninstall these [HIDDEN INSTANCES]
3- You may have to set [PROPERTIES] of FILES & FOLDERS to [VIEW HIDDEN] in order to see them
I know that there is a way to view these [Ghosting/Sticking Drivers] There are Driver Removal Utilities that you can try Have you been there yet Maybe I will see there
Try the Registry & Driver Removal approach while I research/develop a USB HARDWARE TEST method all these other issues keep getting in my way
Just be careful with PLAYING with REGISTRY Only do 1 item at a time Always establish a GOOD RECOVERY POINT before trying the next item ALWAYS have a recovery plan before ACTION -
I am a [HARDWARE] person and usually find the HARDWARE to be fine usually find:
1- Operator Error
2- Installation Problem / errors
3- Wrong application / Specification error
4- Setup errors / Resource conflicts
5- Software complications /
6- Failed Components (Usually as a result of aggressive Trouble Shooting) or CONNECTION ERROR
7- Once in awhile it is a OUT & OUT FAILURE (Mainly on Initial Turn ON)
8- And if it is a Component Failure I look for ROOT CAUSE AND CORRECT - Problem is not FIXED until ROOT CAUSE is corrected (I am from the OLD SCHOOL)
Still working on USB Printer problem Having problems analyzing your [EVEREST] Reports Ghosting seems to be evident there (??) Do you have any FREE PCI Expansion slots Looks like your PC has 3 PCI slots Cannot verify if any are free or used Do you have a NETWORK Card installed
