| 1172933 | 2011-01-27 08:15:00 | Hi, Press F1'ers. I am running Windows XP SP3 on my machine. Several days ago, I had to repair a faulty CD/DVD Drive (which I did). The guy who assisted me removed all the pluigs and cables from the rear of the machine to facilitate moveing the cabinet. Some six USB plugs were removed. I'm sure they didn't go back in the correct (former) positions. Now, when I boot up, I get a small stylised 'X' appearing at the righthand end of the Task Bar, and a bubble, saying 'Found New Hardware. HID Non-User Input Data Filter. This is followed by a dialogue box, saying 'Cannot install this hardware. There was a problem installing this hardware. HID Non-User Input Data Filter. An error occurred during the installation of this device. Fatal error during installation. Click 'Finish' to close.' Once I click 'Finsih' the dialogue box closes and there are no further symptoms (until the next boot up). I have tried moving the devices with USB plugs into different sockets, but that makes no difference. How can I rectify this situation?Cheers. |

| 1172935 | 2011-01-27 08:52:00 | Could be the USB ports have gotten all buggered up. What "Should Happen" is the drivers automatically install to the correct port. What may or may not work - read as may make matters worse: Unplug all USB devices - right click My Computer/ Properties/ Hardware Tab/ Device manager - expand out the USB list, right click each one and uninstall. Reboot, and the USB "should" reinstall its drivers, then plug in one device at a time. BUT as mentioned -- this could also make things worse if there are further software problems. |

| 1172936 | 2011-01-27 08:54:00 | Did you install some Intellipoint hardware/software (like a keyboard/mouse)? And is PowerDVD on this?? It looks like this can bugger up that driver |

| 1172937 | 2011-01-27 09:31:00 | Hi, Speedy. Have both Intellipoint (mouse) and Intellitype (keyboard) onboard. Both are working fine. I don't have powerDVD, though. Where to from here? Cheers. | A Team (13613) | ||

| 1172940 | 2011-01-30 19:10:00 | Try this -- go to This site MS (catalog.update.microsoft.com) USE IE, it wont work with any other browser. Select and Download the file for XP, save it, then use it to install the drivers. |
