    Are you using a USB 3 port (colored blue usually) by any chance? Can you try a USB 2 port if so?

    Yes, that is the computer in that graphic.

    OK, there are Intel drivers for that Mobo,

    ASRock > B75M-GL

    It may be easier to just post that log from the tutorial.
    Well, those Intel USB 3.0 drivers are the same ones I've been installing- and installing and installing 1.0.5.235.

    Still get the message. I have never gotten that message in the 4 years I've been using it.

    I wonder if it is looking for something else?

    When I get to the computer in question I'll try to show system information.

    Once again, thanks.

    What am I supposed to have plugged into a USB 2.0 port or USB 3.0 port. I don't think it is complaining about a device. Looks more like the computer in general.

    Ah, I guess I mis-read. Perhaps your chipset drivers also have some USB drivers included. Worth to check them. As a side note, I think it is best to use a USB 2 port for a printer (but that's me). :)

    I'm sure I am using a USB 2.0 port.

    Thanks for the post.

    I am now sure that it isn't the Intel drivers that are missing because everything seems to be working fine.

    I'll keep trying.

    Check if you have any pending print jobs.
    If you do, cancel them and see if that helps.

    Nothing. I've only printed a few pages with this new printer. The toner carts are 50 bucks apiece so I really take it easy on printing.

    Anyway, I checked the Device and printer place and there was no mark on the computer. Just rebooted and it tried to install software for a device which it didn't know with a driver which it didn't know.

    Not much help, eh?

    I built this computer (and 2 others just like it) and have never experienced this before.

    Once again, I find no problem with any USB device which has me stumped. Maybe I should just forget it.

    The computer icon in Devices and Printers shows a yellow triangle?

    Right click on your Computer (Hamshock) icon in Devices and Printers->Properties. Select Hardware tab.

    Scroll down. I'm guessing you'll see a device listed with that yellow triangle. Select the device and click the Properties button. Give us a snapshot of what you get.
