Since a few weeks some systems have a problem connecting USB devices. These devices have allways worked fine. Now you get an error on that device and you won't get it reinstalled.
In the device manager there is an Event ID 38. I have tried all the usual actions, remove, reinstall and even hot swapped with other USB ports on the system. It is not port related because other devices work perfectly on that port.
They are different systems (laptops & desktops) and different devices. So there is no logical explanation at hand.
The error message in the device manager is:
Windows can not load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the driver is still in memory (code 38)
