How to fix driver installation, error code 28
Good Day! I am working with this pc which had problems on start up. It takes 10-15mins to boot up which is really gives us headaches. I removed unnecessary start up programs on msconfig, defrag, disk cleanup, virus scan, deleted the scanned worms, and fortunately the booting problem was fixed.
However, now i'm having problems on plugging my external hard drive, i'm going to create a new back up. it seems like it doesnt recognize my device. whenever i check device manager, it shows that my device is an unknown device and doesn't install the driver. I tried to auto search or manual search for the driver but gives me the error code 28.
I tried to search for fixes, same issues but all of them doesn't work for me. And one more thing, we also have a Brother printer/scanner. The problem with that is now it can only print, and the scan option doesnt show. Already tried to reinstall the drivers , now also gives me error upon installation. I also ended up trying to use Driver Pack solution to update my drivers, now all of them gives me error on updating. It only says to try to search web for drivers.
Now I believe it has something to do with drivers installation. Can somebody help me with this problem? I'm really getting frustrated now, been working with this for 3 days. And please don't tell me to reinstall my OS bec that is the last thing that we're trying to avoid.
