USB Problems: "Can't install driver, access denied"  

Okay so i recently bought myself a lovely new camera and i was eager to upload my pictures to the computer.

Upon installing (correctly) the software that came with the camera on CD, i plugged it in and ofcourse, my computer doesn't recognise it.

Its a Canon EOS 700D, and after googling things for a few hours i've came across the fact that canon doesn't communicate with windows 7 very well and there is NO specific drivers that i can download.

When i try to fix this problem by finding my camera in device manager and doing the automatic search for drvers, my computer appears to be downloading a driver and then i am met by that error message " Access denied"

So i accepted defeat and went to a local tech shop and reluctantly bought myself a SD card reader as i'd been told thats the easiest way to get my pictures across.

So i get home and plug it in and again, the same process takes place:

I plug it in, it tries to install the device and prompts me with that typical error saying that installation has failed. So i go to device manager, find my device and try the same thing again and it begins downloading a driver then gives me access denied.

I'm lost and frustrated and refuse to believe that BOTH my camera and SD card reader are at fault here, there MUST be a fix, but i am yet to find one on my own

Thanks in advance for any help.

hello thanks for your response. i did both of those and they came back clear with no problems at all. any other suggestions?

I'll add one more possible solution as i've seen malware also cause Access Denied in a few different recent threads. Try running the 3 malware tools listed in post #2
USB not installing, not possible to uninstall code 28

download avira from filehippo install it and than go to device manager right click on your driver than click on update driver software this helped me hope it helps you to

To whomever noted this "problem" as solved, are you sure the problem posted by the original poster is solved?
it does not appear to be solved to me.
I have the same 'access denied' problem with W8x62 and a USB2 HP printer driver. I have used about 8 hours of my time, and have yet to find a solution.....
