A good suggestion to reinstall the chipset drivers.
And a good find on search. ( Even I have difficulties in fnding the posts I had made. May be I am getting jaded and that is where younger members like Faluda have an edge. I appreciate it.:))
The options available to the OP now are - after trying out Kaktussoft's suggestions of deleting mounted devices from the registry which I think is the same as removing all non-present devices which the OP has already done as per my post #4 ( I may need to be corrected if I am wrong)-
1. to reinstall chipset drivers
2. try a system restore if a point is available before this event occurred
and
3. Follow the procedures outlined in the thread Faluda has suggested viz.,1. rebuilding the infcache.1 and 2. replacing the drivers which Windows installs with fresh copies from its repository.
If all these fail to bring cheers, call it a valiant effort and do a repair install.
